Cocaine dealers face jail terms
By Times Group
Four members of a cocaine gang which sold up to £7million of the class A drug every year face a lengthy stretch in prison.
Milroy Nadarajah, 32, a cable engineer, of Games Road, Cockfosters, and three other men all admitted their part in a drug syndicate at Southwark Crown Court this week.
High-flying city workers formed the bulk of the men's clientele, and were attracted by the gang's personalised service and high-grade cocaine. The drug was packaged in offices behind the Old Truman Brewery in Brick Lane, east London.
The men kept computerised records, using codenames for their clients and drugs, and built up a lucrative empire, which funded their lavish lifestyle of plush homes and fast cars.
The gang leader, Julian de Vere Whiteway-Wilkinson, 31, of Hoxton, was a wealthy former public schoolboy who met fellow gang member James Long, 31, of Limehouse, at the £10,000-a-year Quantock School in Somerset.
They left the West Country in the Nineties to work as DJs and drug dealers with family members believing they had made their money organising parties.
The empire came crumbling down when Long and Nadarajah were caught moving 15kgs of cocaine from a car into their office in Whitechapel in September last year.
A police search of the address and a series of connected premises turned up more than £1m of cocaine.
Detectives arrested Whiteway-Wilkinson later that month, which led to the final gang member, Tom Connell, a songwriter from Highbury, being arrested.
The gang will be sentenced on July 8 and 9.
