London Man Jailed for Drug Threats in Leicestershire
10 Mar
Summary
- Man jailed for six and a half years for drug coercion.
- Victims threatened with violence to sell Class A drugs.
- Gang operated 'Adam Line' between London and Loughborough.
Donnell J Magezi, a 26-year-old from London, received a six-and-a-half-year prison sentence for compelling teenagers to sell Class A drugs. The coercion occurred in Leicestershire after Magezi traveled from London. He threatened violence, including harm to victims and their families, to force compliance.
The victims, who were already involved in selling cannabis, were debt-bonded to the gang. Magezi specifically targeted them to sell more dangerous Class A drugs. The threats began on January 8, 2022, with victims being taken to a secluded area and forced to kneel.
Magezi, who managed the 'Adam Line' drug operation, was arrested on January 9, 2022. He was found guilty of drug supply, forced labor offenses, and perverting the course of justice. His conviction highlights the dangers of county lines operations, which exploit vulnerable individuals through fear and violence.
