Two brothers who were part of an organised crime group involved in dealing more than £200,000 worth of cocaine have been jailed.

“Professional criminal” Oliver Mazirel, 35, was already sentenced to 14 years in prison for his role leading the Mazirel organised crime group.

Now his older brother Dean Mazirel, 39, has been jailed for his involvement in the gang.

Mazirel, of South Street, Tarring, was sentenced to four years and three months in prison on January 17 after pleading guilty at an earlier hearing for conspiracy to supply cocaine.

It came as part of the sentencing of 15 men from Worthing who transported around 6kg of high-purity cocaine and 40kg of cannabis between March 2020 and June 2021.

Judge Stephen Mooney told the men: “The sale of cocaine is a blight on our society and ruins lives. It destroys families.

"Some of you were addicts yourself. You were lured by the profit and motivated by greed. You were not motivated to sell small amounts, they were high purity.

“You all played varied roles and had varied levels of responsibility and now you must be punished for that.”

Oliver Mazirel, of Ardingly Drive, Goring, was found guilty of conspiracy to supply cocaine, being concerned in the supply of cannabis, possession with intent to supply cannabis and acquiring or possessing criminal property.
