Drug Boss Morphed Money into Millions in Property Spree
Crackdown on Morton’s Crime Empire
The National Crime Agency (NCA) has moved to seize a string of assets linked to Morton’s shadowy dealings. The crackdown targets four rental homes, a plot of land, and cash from a house sale—all tied to him.
Dirty Cash Poured into Real Estate
Authorities say Morton used drug trafficking proceeds, laundering the illicit gains through property purchases and developments across the North East. His empire wasn’t just on the streets, but built brick by brick with illegal money.
Charges Stack Up: Drugs, Money Laundering, Tax Evasion
- Alleged drug supply ring
- Money laundering via property
- Tax evasion claims
The NCA insists the assets are recoverable as they stem from Morton’s unlawful wealth. The battle to strip the supposed crook of his ill-gotten gains is underway.
