Olympics judo expert 'tortured debtors who owed money to £50m-a-year drugs gang'

[the count of monte cristo]

An Olympic judo expert acted as an enforcer for a £50million-a-year drugs gang and tortured those who owed them money, it has emerged.
James Waithe, 47, was arrested after police attending a routine 999 burglary stumbled upon a massive cocaine factory at a flat he owned.
Bristol Crown Court heard that Waithe let his flat to Craig Rodel, 46, who along with Rupert Brooks, 63, and Grant Richmond, 29, lived the high life on a £1million-a-week turnover.

Officers unearthed a cache of rifles, handguns, stun grenades, ammunition and a 10-tonne hydraulic press used to cut pure cocaine.
The gang spent millions on diamonds, limited edition Porsches and watches including brands such as Rolex, Breitling and Cartier.
Former teacher Waithe, who represented Britain in the Commonwealth Games, was the gang's enforcer to ensure debts were paid.
The jury heard how Waithe, who also represented Barbados at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, once tortured a man by putting his hands into an electric toaster.
Richmond, who turned gave police information on the gang in return for a reduced sentence, described one horrific attack in Hartcliffe, Bristol, to a shocked jury at Bristol Crown Court.
He said: ‘Rodel told me Andy Murray was tied to a chair by him and Waithe and beaten by a set of nun-chuks.

Not necessarily. You can't just walk into a bank and pay in large amounts of cash without proving where it comes from, so buying that stuff is a much easier way of money laundering. The diamonds and watches would hold their value well.

Man if I had that kind of cash I would travel the world doing jujitsu.Trying to legitimise my money.One way is to hit the casino's and then ask for a cheque instead when you cash in your chips.
