'El Chapo of the Cotswolds' faces drugs trial in US

A CYCLING enthusiast dubbed the "El Chapo of the Cotswolds" over an alleged £5million drugs racket has lost a last-ditch bid to avoid being extradited to the US.

Matthew Grimm, 49, is accused of trafficking designer amphetamines in a multi-million pound operation.

If convicted, the businessman, who is a member of a riding club in the genteel Cotswolds town of Chipping Sodbury, Glos, could face up to 120 years behind bars over five drug charges and an allegation of money laundering.

In December, after then Home Secretary Suella Braverman gave the go-ahead for his extradition, Grimm launched a legal challenge to being tried in America.
