Man jailed for one million euro cocaine deal bid - Crime, UK - The Independent: "Timothy Dale admitted trying to buy 37kg of the class A drug from a British gang based in Amsterdam.
It would have been worth more than £4.5 million once cut to street level purity, Britain's Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca) said.
Dale, 47, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply a controlled drug after Dutch authorities passed evidence to the UK.
The case was a rare example of a prosecution based on such evidence, according to Soca."
