Former Soldier Turned Drug Broker Sentenced | Liverpool News
Description
A former soldier and personal trainer turned drug kingpin, Anthony Maguire, has been sentenced to nine years for trafficking 15kg of cocaine under the alias “Edible Tequila” via the encrypted app EncroChat. His third conviction for class A drugs stems from a pattern of criminal behavior fueled by PTSD from his Afghanistan service and financial desperation after his gym shut down during the pandemic. Despite community ties and a reputation as a positive role model, Maguire’s repeated offenses—plus his use of encrypted platforms and history of suspended sentences—led the judge to impose a harsh sentence, underscoring his status as a dangerous repeat offender.
