International cocaine smuggler jailed for 30 years


The drugs baron Brian Wright, who ran the most successful global cocaine trafficking network ever discovered in the UK, was today jailed for 30 years.

As boss of the Wright organisation, he oversaw the shipment by luxury yacht of tonnes of cocaine worth hundreds of millions of pounds from South America. His underground contacts nicknamed him the Milkman, because he always delivered.
