Michael Doyle was ordered to pay £83,395 following a confiscation hearing at Liverpool Crown Court on Wednesday, March 27. The 46-year-old was previously jailed for 12 years after he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply cocaine, heroin and amphetamine as well as possession of cocaine with intent to supply.
He operated using the handle "Battle-Hawk" and was found to have 55 contacts on his device. Doyle chatted with them about drugs deals within Merseyside and across the world in the messages. After Doyle, from Bickerstaffe, was sentenced, a financial investigation commenced. The £83,395 Doyle was ordered to pay was found to include equity in two properties, and in cash seized on his arrest. The order was issued under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
"Our Financial Investigators meticulously work in securing as much as possible in criminal assets and should Doyle not repay the amount, he will serve extra jail time. The proceeds recovered at court will be of great benefit when invested back into community initiatives to help prevent crime and protect the most vulnerable.
