A brazen drug gang kingpin who posed on a gold throne has been refused permission to appeal his 15-year prison sentence. Mohammed Faisal Jabbar, 32, claimed a judge hadn't shown him enough mercy when he was jailed for his role in an international heroin and cocaine smuggling conspiracy in 2017.

He applied to the Court of Appeal arguing that he pleaded guilty on the basis that he had been forced to deal drugs by a mystery man identified only as 'Bro'.

Jabbar claimed a starting point of 22 years, reduced to 15 after his guilty plea and personal mitigation was heard, was too harsh.
