A drug dealer who moved from Poland to set up his Scottish housing association flat as a drugs hub has been jailed for four and a half years.<\/p>\n
Kamil Morawski who was described as refreshingly honest by a sheriff yesterday will also face extradition at the conclusion of his prison term.<\/p>\n
Morawski, who has a string of Polish convictions, bluntly told police who raided his Perth home that he was a drug dealer and had been in business for months.<\/p>\n
Perth Sheriff Court was told Morawski was given a housing association flat when he moved to Scotland and used it to set up a large-scale drug den peddling ecstasy, speed and cannabis.<\/p>\n
Morawski, 31, was found with 40,000 worth of drugs after converting the flat into the centre of his drug dealing operation.<\/p>\n
The father-of-one who had served prison terms in his homeland for drug-related crimes was caught with nearly two kilos of speed.<\/p>\n
As well as the amphetamine worth nearly 20,000, he had more than 1,000 ecstasy tablets and more than a kilo of cannabis in the McCallum Court flat. When his home was raided by police, Morawski told them he was a drug dealer and had been selling a cocktail of illicit substances for several months.<\/p>\n
Depute fiscal Charmaine Gilmartin told Perth Sheriff Court: He has offended previously in Poland but has no previous convictions in the UK.<\/p>\n
This took place in a two-bedroom flat owned by a housing association. The accused was the sole tenant but resided with his partner and child.<\/p>\n
The police received intelligence that the accused was supplying drugs from his home. A drugs search warrant was granted.<\/p>\n
Mrs Gilmartin said 1,120 ecstasy tablets were recovered with a potential value of 11,200, along with 1,945 grams of amphetamine worth 19,450.<\/p>\n
The total cannabis recovered weighed 1,309 grams and had a maximum value of 13,090.<\/p>\n
Morawski had also stuffed more than 5,000 in cash under his mattress.<\/p>\n
The accused gave full answers, stating that he was a drug dealer and sold cannabis, amphetamine and E.<\/p>\n
He stated he had been dealing for around six months for financial gain. He said his partner had no knowledge or involvement.<\/p>\n
Morawski, a prisoner at Perth, admitted three charges of being concerned in the supply of cannabis, amphetamine and ecstasy between January 31July 31 this year.<\/p>\n
Solicitor David Sinclair, defending, said Morawski first arrived in the UK in 2010 to work on a farm but had since returned to Poland and served jail time.<\/p>\n
Mr Sinclair said: He was seeking to improve his familys life and took a short way of doing so.<\/p>\n
Sheriff Lindsay Foulis said: You have held your hands up and accepted responsibility at the earliest stage. You do not shy away from taking responsibility.<\/p>\n
Nor do you try and mask your reasons for your actions in any way and such honesty, to put it bluntly, is refreshing.<\/p>\n
