Four jailed for £20m cocaine plot through Billingsgate Market
Four men were jailed on Friday for plotting to smuggle about 600kg of cocaine, worth over £20 million, hidden in frozen fish from South America. The gang planned to use a legitimate fish business at London's Billingsgate Market to receive the drug shipments. Detectives uncovered the scheme through encrypted messages on the EncroChat platform, though the importation never actually happened.
