Superintendent Graham McLaughlin said: “This was a long and complex investigation which has led to the conviction of 15 men. “The jury heard how Neil Ogden lived a lavish lifestyle built on money he gained from his criminal behaviour.  He took advantage of others who were dependent on drugs and used them to his advantage.
