Cocaine kingpin guilty plea cost taxpayers £40k

A CRIME gang headed by Jamie "Iceman" Stevenson has cost taxpayers almost £40,000 in legal aid.

Stevenson, 59, was in charge of an international cocaine smuggling operation which attempted to import £76million of the class-A drug inside boxes of bananas.
