UK DRUG CRIME BOSS IN JAIL AFTER FLEEING THAILAND. (PHOTO).


A British drugs kingpin has been extradited home from Thailand to serve a lengthy jail term after spending years on the run, UK police said on Saturday.

Richard Wakeling, 55, fled Britain in 2018 after he attempted with Dutch accomplices to smuggle $10 million (£8 million) of liquid amphetamine from Belgium in-to the UK in 2016.
