A former Liverpool football prodigy has been jailed for more than 13 years for taking part in a huge drugs conspiracy.
One-time England youth top scorer and football hot-property Jamie Cassidy laced his boots up alongside the likes of Jamie Carragher and Michael Owen as the Liverpool side they were part of won the FA Youth Cup in 1996, beating a West Ham team including Rio Ferdinand and Frank Lampard. The two, along with Jamie Cassidy, also admitted conspiracy to supply drugs and conspiracy to transfer criminal property.
Earlier, Richard Wright KC, prosecuting, told the court that although Jamie Cassidy played no role in the importation of drugs, he still played a “significant role” passing on instructions and acting on the direction of others to ensure operations went smoothly and the drugs were distributed to dealers.
He was the user of an encrypted EncroChat phone with the handle Whiskywasp and Jamie used NuclearDog on the secret communications service used by criminals. Meanwhile, Jonathan Cassidy’s internet use showed he became preoccupied with on-the-run fugitives and ongoing arrests after police busted the EncroChat service, before leaving for Dubai.
