Shafaghatullah Mohseni, 29, led a gang sentenced for smuggling drugs, weapons, and phones into UK prisons by drones.
The group conducted about 140 drone flights from December 2024 to February 2025, targeting nine prisons including Wormwood Scrubs and Brixton.
Mohseni received over £30,000 for these operations, while other members received 27–33 months.
