A tyrannical gang boss who dished out punishment beatings to underlings who crossed him used "spoofing phones" to try and stay one step ahead of the police.
Ahmed Sabbagh-Parry, 37, was the head of a Liverpool drugs network raking in dirty cash by dishing out heroin and crack-cocaine to drug users on the streets of Cardiff. The shaven-headed hardman lived in a city-centre apartment in Liverpool but had a network of lieutenants, couriers and street-dealers working for him.
Sabbagh-Parry had been in trouble for heroin trafficking in 2009, and did initially appear to steer clear of crime after his release from prison, running a seemingly honest car dealership in Ealing, London, between 2014 and 2017.
