An organised crime group responsible for supplying millions of pounds worth of drugs across the South West region has been brought to justice. The head of the criminal network, Anes Troudi, along with his associates Adnan Malik, Carl Powell, and Gary Browne, were sentenced on Friday at Bristol Crown Court.
The investigation, led by the South West Regional Organised Crime Unit (SWROCU), stemmed from Operation Venetic, an international operation that dismantled EncroChat, an encrypted communications platform used by serious and organised criminals.
