A firefighter commended for his work in the 7 July London bombings has been jailed for 14 years for smuggling 110kg of cocaine into the UK. Simon Ford, 41, was one of 33 people convicted for being part of a £80m drugs and money laundering operation.
It followed a series of raids by police on properties in London, Surrey, Kent and Hertfordshire in 2008.
Ford was commended for his role in rescuing people trapped after a bomb ripped apart a bus in Tavistock Square.
He was jailed last year but it can only be reported now after reporting restrictions were lifted by a judge at Southwark Crown Court.
