High flying big spending John Coone and his wife Pamela lorded it up in their small community splashing their cash on holidays, fast cars and flash jewellery.

But the couple who were also claiming social welfare have fallen foul of the Criminal Assets Bureau and he has been named as the leader of a West Cork drugs gang.

The pair from Bandon in County Cork tried to hide their dirty money through a Botox clinic, tanning saloons and pubs.

Nicola speaks with Eamon Dillon about the regional kingpin and the ongoing efforts to dismantle his drugs operation.
