Leon Cullen, leader of a firearms-and-cocaine network who fled Britain in 2018, obtained a false passport, and used it over a two-year period before being captured on an international arrest warrant in Dubai in 2020, has now been jailed for 22 years and six months.
Cullen, 33, was extradited from the UAE and brought back to Cheshire in northwest England in February 2021.
Earlier in May, he was sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court after pleading guilty to conspiracy to supply firearms, conspiracy to possess ammunition, and conspiracy to supply cocaine.
