Court agrees on £556 confiscation from Hassan, a drug dealer serving 15 years. He made £428,441 from his crimes.
If Hassan gets more money, they could take more. Also, hidden assets could face confiscation later. He used an encrypted phone to contact criminals who bought and sold cocaine and cannabis.
Police arrested Hassan in 2020 for drug driving and gathered more information after his arrest. Hassan worked with criminals across the UK, moving drugs around the country. He contacted drug producers in Morocco and Spain often.
Hassan lived a fancy life, owning luxury cars and designer clothes. He traveled to Malaga, Amsterdam, Pakistan, and Dubai.
Alongside jail time, he got a crime prevention order that lasts five years, starting in June 2031. He appeared in court via video link, as he is at HMP Northumberland currently.
The lawyers agreed on the settlement figures, and the judge confirmed his criminal earnings: £428,441. The confiscation amount is £556.21, which he must pay in 28 days. Failure means 14 more prison days, but the money is already with the police anyway.
The judge reduced his sentence by 92 days. This accounted for his electronic curfew, as he had a curfew for over six months, and each day on curfew counts as half a day in jail.
