The pushers bought a chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce, a £21,000 Rolex watch and designer threads from Paris after raking in a fortune running a string of drugs factories.
They also drove supercars including a Lamborghini and amassed an impressive collection of Dom Perignon and Cristal champagne, worth £700 a bottle.
Two of the pushers are seen here laden with bags of designer goods outside a Louis Vuitton store in Paris.
A total of 55.62kg, worth an estimated street value of more than £5.5million, was seized during a series of raids across London and Kent.
The gang brazenly photographed themselves with the ‘spoils’ of their crimes, posing to show off the soles of their designer shoes and wearing three Rolexes, said prosecutor Kerry Broom.
The supply operation, busted in February this year, was led by Warren Desmangles, described as ‘pretty close to the top of the tree’.
