Drug lord ran smuggling network from prison cell, six members of the racket on trial at High Criminal Court

Experiences generally refine humans, but this wasn’t the case with a drug lord serving a 10 year imprisonment for running a drug smuggling racket.

Court details say he continued to operate the racket from behind bars after being sentenced for the same crime.

The Bahraini man was earlier found guilty of selling drugs in the Kingdom and inside the prison he led the network smuggling shabu using a mobile phone that was smuggled into the jail, the court documents say.

The other members of the network include a father-son duo, two Nigerian citizens as well as the drug lord’s brother.

The racket was busted after one of the Nigerian men landed in police net at the Bahrain International Airport trying to smuggle in three kilograms of shabu.
