A Bromley man involved in the large-scale supply of Class A and B drugs has been sentenced to seven years and nine months in prison.
Michael Hall, 60, of The Chase, Bromley South, was jailed on Wednesday, February 4, after pleading guilty to multiple drug-related offences at Croydon Crown Court.
Cracking the ‘Uncrackable’ EncroChat Network
Hall’s conviction was part of a wider investigation into EncroChat, an encrypted messaging service used by criminals to facilitate drug and firearms transactions.
However, Recorder Stanley Reiz KC, who sentenced him, made it clear:
“You made your choices, whatever your reasons, and you must accept the punishment.”
Crackdown on Organised Crime Continues
Hall’s conviction is part of Operation Venetic, the UK’s largest-ever crackdown on organised crime, which has already resulted in hundreds of arrests and convictions linked to EncroChat.
