Question

What sort of sentences do drug dealers get in the UK?

Answer 1

You seem to be asking a lot of questions about drug running. Just forget it and get a proper job.

Answer 2

Not long enough

Answer 3

DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT SONNY BOY!!

Answer 4

Very much depends on the circumstances - how high up the chain they are, the class and purity and amount of drug involved, the monies involved, what remorse if any is shown, whether they pleaded guilty or were convicted after trial. The higher up, the longer the sentence, usually in double figures of years.

The authorities then investigate their means and the courts make a confiscation order of the benefit which they are deemed to have had from their illegal activities involves seizing their assets.

A 'dealer' involved in supplying friends for no profit (ie bulk-buying on behalf of the group) is the one more likely to get a non-custodial sentence depending on the amounts involved. Even those at the bottom of the rung who are dealing to feed their own habit can expect a custodial sentence.

Hope that helps.
