Drugs boss gets £3.5million bill

A DRUGS kingpin who lived an extraordinary life of luxury funded by crime must pay back almost £3.5million of his ill-gotten gains. Aram Sheibani could face an extra decade in jail if he fails to pay back the huge sum.
Sheibani, 43, is currently serving a 37 year jail sentence after his international crime empire came crashing down. A huge investigation by Greater Manchester Police revealed that Sheibani had amassed a £5m property portfolio, stayed in luxury accommodation, travelled around the world and drove top of the range cars such as a Bentley and a Porsche.
Police also found that he had more than £1m in cash and £1.5 million worth of cryptocurrency. Sheibani, who lived in a luxury apartment in Bowdon, Trafford, had paid for cosmetic surgery including veneers, hair transplants and a nose job.
Sheibani claimed that his wealth came from legitimate sources, but a jury disagreed. A judge said he was satisfied that he was 'at the very head of a large scale, international drugs conspiracy, and that Sheibani was 'close to the very source of production in Colombia. He had made trips to the country, which police claimed were for research purposes.
