(PTI) London, Ta. November 30, 2019, Saturday

Two Indian-origin brothers confessed to involvement in organized crime involving millions of dollars worth of drug trafficking in Britain by companies associated with the importation of chicken from the Netherlands.

Manjinder Singh Thakhar and Devinder Singh Thakhar, who were arrested following an investigation by the UK National Crime Agency, confessed to the crime. He will be sentenced in January next year.

Wasim Hussain and Nazrat Hussain, gang gangsters of the organized crime gang in Birmingham, were jointly sentenced to 44 years at the end of a lawsuit in Birmingham Crown Court.

The gang also tried to get weapons in addition to drugs to intimidate its rivals and carry out their criminal activities. In our investigation all contacts of the criminal network were found in London and the Netherlands. The help of the Dutch police in the investigation was very important, 'he added.

"We systematically destroyed the organized network of A-class drug importation and distribution throughout the West Midlands," the NCA branch manager said in a recent investigation that lasted more than three years. '

On three occasions, a quantity of heroin and cocaine and chicken worth about five million pounds was seized from the shipment. The NCA said that their investigators eventually seized 16 imported shipments that were suspected to be drugs.

Imports were launched in June 2016 which lasted until 2017. Each time the first two quantities were caught, the gang was setting up a new company and hiding their black names with a new name.

The Netherlands used a true shipping company to fetch this quantity from Rotterdam, and gang members gathered in one center to distribute it. Nazareth Hussein, who was a regular visitor to the Netherlands to ship to Dutch suppliers, offered shipments.

The gang changed modus operandi after two shipments of chikan and two gang arrests. This time they used two corrupt loaders to carry a packet of high quality three kilos of cocaine from Brazil to Heathrow. NCA officials kept a watch on him.
