A Colombian gang which ran one of the biggest cocaine distribution networks in Britain has been jailed. The two masterminds, Jesus Anibal Ruiz Henao and Mario Tascon, were sentenced to 19 and 17 years.
The convictions, which can only be revealed now after reporting restrictions were finally lifted, are the culmination of a four-year investigation by the National Crime Squad and Scotland Yard, who were assisted by Colombian police. Those who encountered Jesus Ruiz Henao and his brother-in-law Mario Tascon in their everyday London jobs - driving buses and cleaning - could never have guessed they were sitting on millions in drug money. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4534255.stm
