Dad called on contacts across the globe as he traded huge quantities of illicit substances over EncroChat
A heroin and cocaine trafficker known as "Sylvester the Cat" was previously put to work by a gang which boasted a £3m "Aladdin's cave" of drugs.
Wilson, then aged 29 and of Latham Street in Kirkdale, was locked up for three years after he admitted working as a courier for the outfit behind the stash on a single occasion. He was arrested when police turned up at the address and found 126.4kg of cannabis resin, potentially worth £1m, in his car.
"Seizures on this scale would usually be the result of detailed and prolonged investigation. But this seizure arose because, on September 15 at around 8.20am, the police received an anonymous call informing them that there were males loading drugs into a car on Coral Avenue." The same court heard on Friday, August 18, that the now 38-year-old was identified as the user of the handle "SlyvesterTheCat" after the network was infiltrated by law enforcement in 2020. Henry Riding, prosecuting, described how others had his codename stored in their own devices under the names "Terence" and "Tez", while he also gave out his postcode and street name.
Wilson however was not present at this time, and was said to have left the UK in late 2020. He was belatedly arrested in May this year in the Netherlands and was extradited back to the UK to face justice. "They are an explanation as to how he finds himself where he finds himself. He received aggressive demands that repayments were made and he foolishly went back to what he did in 2014, but on this occasion on a much higher scale.
