A drug boss who had a running total of £1.3m boasted about buying his partner a £100,000 diamond watch for Christmas.
Steven Nicholls, aka EncroChat user CubRing , dealt with the importers of drugs as he led a 116kg cocaine and heroin plot.
Nicholls directed lieutenant Dean Deary, who went by the handle RecoveryMan - a nod to the recovery business he used as a cover for their illicit trade.
