‘The gangland figures murdered the hits ordered on EncroChat: How killings of Salford's 'Mr Big' Paul Massey and mob 'fixer' John Kinsella were called in using encrypted phone network’.

Secret phone system EncroChat was used in some of the UK's most notorious murders and crimes, it was revealed today.

The shadowy underground network used by thousands of criminals for worry free communication to arrange murders, drug deals and other illegal activity, was smashed, leading to the arrest of 746 underworld kingpins in Britain alone.
