Drug Dealer Footballer's Cash Hunt Extended
2 Oct
Summary
- A footballer who bragged about drug dealing faces further financial scrutiny.
- The ex-player was jailed last year for conspiracy to supply Class A drugs.
- His case has been adjourned until October 26 for more financial information.
A footballer who openly bragged about his drug-dealing activities on social media has been granted more time to reveal details about his finances. Thierry Nevers, 24, a former player for clubs including West Ham, Newport County, and Bradford City, was sentenced to three years in prison last year after admitting to conspiracy to supply Class A drugs.
Following his conviction, a Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) investigation was initiated to determine the profits from his criminal enterprise and to seize any available assets. However, during a recent hearing at Lincoln Crown Court, it was stated that additional financial information from Nevers was required.
Consequently, Nevers' case has been adjourned until October 26. His accomplice, Allan Barrass, is currently serving a 10-year sentence for multiple drug offenses and a firearms offense. The court previously heard that Barrass's financial investigation concluded earlier this year, revealing an agreed benefit of £221,028 from his criminal actions, with realisable assets totaling only £13,746.
