Drugs boss jailed after taking pic on visit to dentist and sending it to partner in crime

- NEAL KEELING

Crown prosecution!

THE head of a drugs gang was nailed after taking a selfie of himself in the dentist's chair.

The image was sent by Khan Gorgulu to his crime partner - and was then used by police to identify him and prove his involvement in suppying cocaine and cannabis to Alderley Edge.

Now Gorgulu, 23, of Red Bank, Manchester, has been jailed for six years and six months after being found guilty of conspiracy to supply class A and B drugs following an eight-day trial at Chester Crown Court.

The criminal he sent the selfie to on a burner phone, Giovanni Spada, 37, of Shaw Drive, Knutsford, was jailed for six years in October last year after admitting conspiracy to supply class A and B drugs.
