Date published: 22 April 2013


A DRUG dealer who boasted about his criminal empire during his trial for the murder of Oldhamer Junaid Khan has been ordered to repay over £232,000.

Milad Finn (25) of no fixed address was cleared of causing Khan’s death but was jailed for six years last September after admitting conspiracy to supply heroin and cocaine, production of cannabis, converting criminal property and encouraging or assisting the commission of offences.

Mr Khan was shot in a car park in Block Lane, Chadderton, in July, 2009. Three men were acquitted of murder and his killers have not been caught.

After the trial an investigation was launched by detectives and at a Proceeds of Crime Act hearing in Manchester, Finn was found to have made more than £750,000 from drug dealing.

Finn told the murder trial his first contact with illegal drugs had been at 15, and that he had gone on to set up his own drugs empire.

Finn must repay £232,000 within six months or face another 28 months in jail.
