A drugs kingpin who ran a network of cannabis farms across the UK making millions while posing as a Bentley-driving property developer was convicted today.
Roman Le, 37, drove around the country in his Bentley Continental, posing as a property developer surveying his empire of residential and commercial properties, even putting up scaffolding around the buildings to make it look like work was taking place.
But behind the façade, his lieutenants were busy inside the properties manufacturing huge quantities of cannabis.
Le ran at least eight cannabis farms in residential and commercial properties, as well as a storage facility housing both equipment and harvested cannabis.
He established cannabis factories across the Midlands, North West and north Lincolnshire including in a disused nightclub in Coventry, a former public house in Birmingham, and an old hotel in Lancashire.
