EncroChat dealer Digweed dies in prison, made £500k monthly.
Johnpaul Digweed, an EncroChat dealer serving a 25-year sentence, died while incarcerated at HMP Garth in April 2024. A Prisons and Probation Ombudsman report found no evidence he was at high risk of suicide, but staff did not follow welfare check guidance. Intelligence suggested Digweed made up to £500,000 every two months running drug deliveries by drone.
