Semi-Pro Footballers Jailed for Running £260m Cocaine Operation

Six players sentenced to over 100 years in total for orchestrating a sophisticated drug network across the UK.

The gang conspired to supply over 2.7 tonnes of high-grade cocaine between April and October 2022.
Key arrests were made following the discovery of 8kg of cocaine in a van driven by Luke Skeete.
Further investigations led to the seizure of 123kg of cocaine and 224kg of ketamine from storage units.
The operation was described by police as highly organized, using secure messaging platforms to evade detection.
Sentences for the six individuals ranged from 13 to 24 years, reflecting the gravity of their crimes.
