British drug lord was arrested by special forces in his Lithuanian hide-out after 'living like a ghost' for seven years in European hotels

 James Mulvey tried to throw off police by never staying in one place too long and checking into hotels for seven years, paid in cash - sometimes by third parties. The 42-year-old, originally from Solihull in the West Midlands, routinely used so-called burner mobile telephones making tracking his movements difficult. But he was today found guilty of two counts of conspiring to bring cocaine into England, and two counts of conspiring to smuggle cannabis into the country, between 2006 and 2007. Following the verdicts after a ten-week trial at Birmingham Crown Court, the National Crime Agency (NCA) said Mulvey's reputation as a criminal 'untouchable' had been shattered. Mulvey was eventually arrested at gunpoint by Lithuanian special forces in 2017, after being tracked there during a 'meticulous' investigation by the NCA.
