The organised crime group members aged between 33-53, have been sentenced in Aylesbury to a total of more than 110 years’ imprisonment for their roles in the supply of a tonne of cocaine and the laundering of £24m.
Following an extensive investigation by the South East Regional Organised Crime Unit (SEROCU), they were sentenced yesterday (23/12) at Aylesbury Crown Court, sitting at Amersham.
The court heard the group used an encrypted communications platform to organise and facilitate the supply of 1000 kilos of cocaine, 50 kilos of heroin and laundering of £24m of criminal proceeds between January and September 2020.
The network, headed up by Sandeep Rao, ran their criminal operation from an apartment in Rutland Street, High Wycombe. The premises, identified by police as the ‘safe house, was used to store multi-kilo qualities of cocaine as well as to process and stockpile millions of pounds of criminal proceeds.
