A crucial member of a major dial-a-drug gang helped get himself caught after a video of him hiding a large haul of dirty money was found by police.

Muhammad Hanif was an "administrator" for the food delivery-style narcotics operation headed by supercar driving dealer Saad Qayyum.

Hanif worked closely with Qayyum's trusted lieutenant Ajaydeep Singh in the lucrative trafficking business.

The 32-year-old has now joined the pair behind bars after he admitted to his involvement in the gang at the High Court in Glasgow this week.

A judge heard how Qayyum, 37, posed as a "bona fide businessman".

He was the director of the Quay Lounge shisha bar in the city's Paisley Road where "legitimate and criminal enterprise overlapped"

The kingpin also had a food company called SQZ Trading Limited.

Both firms were used to launder ill-gotten gains.

Prosecutor Chris McKenna explained: "Qayyum utilised a drugs distribution model comparable to a large scale business similar to many of the online food delivery services available.
