manchester, uk - A criminal mastermind, known as Fruitykeks, doubles prison sentence for running drug operation from HM Prison Manchester.

Criminal Mastermind Operates Drug Empire from Prison

A notorious criminal, dubbed Fruitykeks, continued to run a lucrative drug operation from his prison 'office' in the Netherlands. Despite being incarcerated, he orchestrated the smuggling of cocaine with the help of his associates. When authorities discovered his illicit activities, his prison sentence was doubled as a consequence.

The 31-year-old Nico Logan, also known as Fruitykeks, managed to organize the import of nearly 1.5 million euros worth of cocaine from the HM Prison Manchester, formerly known as Strangeways. Utilizing a smuggled mobile phone, he communicated with an accomplice outside the prison walls to facilitate the drug deliveries.

Logan's illegal activities were exposed when his phone records were traced, leading to the interception of a cocaine package at Birmingham Airport in June 2023. The package was destined for a residence in Wythenshawe.

Following a thorough investigation, Logan was found guilty of conspiracy to import and distribute cocaine. In addition to his existing 16-year sentence for drug offenses, he received an extra 15-year prison term. Logan's criminal history dates back to December 2016 when he was initially convicted of firearm and drug-related crimes.

Despite facing previous convictions, Logan persisted in his criminal endeavors to generate substantial profits from the illicit drug trade. The unraveling of his criminal network was aided by the decryption of EncroChat servers, a platform commonly used by criminals for communication.

The collaboration between Logan and his accomplices came to light when a package originating from an undisclosed location in the Netherlands was intercepted at Birmingham Airport and found to contain twelve packages of cocaine valued at nearly 1.5 million euros. Subsequently, a covert operation was launched, leading to the apprehension of a 34-year-old man, Michael Garside, who was tasked with retrieving the package.

Garside's communication with Logan, facilitated through a phone call from prison, implicated him in the drug trafficking scheme. While Garside initially evaded custody, further analysis of his phone records established his direct association with Logan.

After a thorough investigation, Logan was arrested in March 2024. Detective Chris Chinnery highlighted the audacity of Logan's criminal activities within the confines of the prison.

Garside, who pleaded guilty, received an additional sentence of nine years and seven months for his involvement in the drug trafficking operation.
