UK Drug Lord Sentenced to 20 Years | Leicester News
Description
A UK drug kingpin has been jailed for 20 years after orchestrating the import of a tonne of cocaine into the East Midlands — a massive operation worth £7.3 million that spanned eight months and involved encrypted chats, international suppliers, and a sprawling criminal network. Stephane Hassiakos, 55, pleaded guilty to multiple charges and was arrested in Spain before being extradited to the UK. His username “BrassBee” on EncroChat exposed his role in trafficking over 1,000kg of cocaine between 2019 and 2020. The judge called it “highly unsavoury” and “untold harm” to society, while Hassiakos now faces a five-year travel ban upon release — a major blow to organized crime.
