A UK-led operation dismantled a major cocaine ring using EncroChat, leading to 140+ years in prison and seizure of hundreds of kilos and cash.
A major international cocaine trafficking ring linked to the EncroChat encrypted network was dismantled by the UK’s National Crime Agency, resulting in over 140 years in prison for its members.
The operation, active from October 2019 to April 2020, involved smuggling hundreds of kilograms of cocaine—hidden in gas canisters—from the Netherlands into the UK, with shipments arriving in Kent, Northampton, Peterborough, and Warrington.
Key figures included Kevin Taylor, sentenced to 27 years for orchestrating the supply of over 200kg valued at £68.75 million, and associates involved in logistics, transport, and money laundering.
The investigation, part of Operation Venetic, utilized digital surveillance and led to hundreds of thousands in cash seizures.
