Mark Quinn made a total of £10,158,678 during his involvement with the drugs trade

A drug dealer who made more than £10million has agreed to hand over just £1 to settle a proceeds of crime action – and has six months to pay it.

Prosecutors and defence lawyers agreed that 59-year-old Mark Quinn made a total of £10,158,678 during his involvement with the narcotics trade.

But at the High Court in Edinburgh yesterday, lawyers concluded that Quinn, of Liverpool, has only £1 in available assets.

Following a short hearing, Quinn, who is serving a seven-year prison term, was given six months to hand the sum over.
