Danielle Stafford conceded as she headed a drug company of several million pounds in the East Yorkshire, but she was quickly discovered after the police pulled her on a completely unrelated crime
A drug lord who financed a Cannabis luxury lifestyle was sentenced to reimburse £ 96,000.
Danielle Stafford, 31, led a Major drug empire in Hull, was sentenced to reimburse money as a crime product. However, she has only 12 weeks to recover the money together to reimburse him.
Stafford has won millions while cannabis and cocaine flooded the streets of Hull. She used money to finance a luxury lifestyle, filled with large getaways and sumptuous treats – ratating so much money, she barely used one of the salary she earned as an engineer.
Hull Crown Court also learned that she had been able to bring so much additional income, Stafford could buy a second house for herself. However, whenever she was challenged by friends of her sumptuous constant lifestyle, the empress of drugs claimed that luxury articles were all false or which are given to her by family members.
However, unlucky on Danielle, she was finally caught after being arrested by the police who had seen her accelerate. Stool reported that even if she had been detained, a phone had constantly raised, with 30 missed phone calls and up to 20 different messages relating to medicines made after her arrest.
During her interrogation, Stafford was seen “agitated” with her jogger, the officers asking if she had other drugs on her person. She admitted that she had done it but denied having known what they were and insisted that it was not hers.
After saying: “I pushed him into my joggers when you pulled me”, Stafford continued to take out a bag with a large number of small bags of cocaine. In total, 56 bags were counted with an estimated value at £ 2,800.
Humberside police quickly marked a mandate to examine Stafford’s home, where they quickly discovered a total of £ 26,917 in hidden cash in various places. They also found a multitude of drugs worth £ 33,600 estimated at £ 33,600, as well as host of other sumptuous items, including nine watches and three Louis Vuitton handbags.
The agents quickly accused Stafford, a graduate of the University of Hull, and lived in Hallgate in Cottingham, with the offenses and brought him to justice. In April 2023, Stafford pleaded guilty of having concerned with providing heroin, crack and cannabis and another possession of money as criminal goods.
After admitting the incidents, which took place between October 2017 and May 2020, she was officially sentenced to more than seven and a half years in prison for having worked as a leader of the drug gang. However, his case resurfaced in June, because the court had not yet decided on the amount of money earned from the drug network.
Prosecutor Nadim Bashir said Stafford won £ 96,63 following his questionable transactions. Assating at the hearing by the court via Videolink, Stafford was informed that it had to reimburse the money within three months or risk being struck by another one -year prison pass – which would be served immediately after the end of its previous one.
