John Cobbina has breached his serious crime prevention orders (SCPO) set following his release in 2020.
The 59-year-old was first convicted in 2010 for money laundering and supplying class A drugs, and again in 2016 for conspiracy to supply drugs.
Then in 2017, he was convicted for possession of class A drugs, with the intent to supply.
Despite a series of restrictions in place after his release, Cobbina pleaded guilty to five charges of failing to comply with his SCPO, having failed to declare a mobile phone he owned and failing to notify the National Crime Agency (NCA) of a change of address.
He has been sentenced to 67 weeks imprisonment at Inner London Crown Court on Friday (January 29).
A new SCPO has also been made, restricting him access to communication devices, bank accounts and vehicles.
He is also required to notify the NCA of his premises and restrictions on possessing cutting agents.
Alison Abbott, head of the NCA’s prison and lifetime management unit, said: “Cobbina had no respect for the restrictions imposed on him as part of his serious crime prevention orders but this case highlights how using these powers can safeguard our communities from convicted criminals who re-engage in illegal activity when released from prison.
“The NCA rigorously monitors offenders with Serious Crime Prevention Orders and will continue to pursue prosecutions when those orders are breached, as shown in this case.”
