The drug dealing brothers swapping a life of luxury for a life behind bars
manchestereveningnews.co.ukA pair of drug-dealing brothers who enjoyed a life of luxury while making a fortune flogging heroin, cocaine, ketamine and cannabis are settling into life behind bars.
The Rains siblings were caught with debtors lists, designer clothes and expensive Cartier jewellery. John Paul Rains, 37, and Daniel Rains, 39, used the encrypted EncroChat system to buy huge amounts of Class A and B substances.
Following the European-wide hack into the system by law enforcement, the Greater Manchester brothers were busted. Minshull Street Crown Court heard that when John was detained, police found drugs, scales, drugs phones, debtors lists, cash, a cash counter, designer gear and expensive jewellery.
The brothers have since admitted drug offences. They've been jailed for a combined total of 20 years.
