A BOLTON man was part of international drugs gang smuggling cocaine, cannabis and Ecstasy with a street value of up to £200m, a court heard.
Bolton Crown Court was told that when police officers raided an industrial unit on the Beesley Industrial Estate in Radcliffe, they discovered drugs worth up to £4.1m.
The well-organised operation used genuine companies who were unaware of what they were transporting.
Paul Bell, aged 37, of Hardcastle Apartments, Bradshaw Hall Drive Bolton and seven other men denied charges of conspiracy to sell Class A and conspiracy to sell Class B drugs.
