For a man with one leg, Richard Wakeling had a good run. Globe-hopping one step ahead of police for five years, the British drug boss fugitive finally slipped up in Bangkok, Thailand, where he was living a quiet life with his Thai wife. Let me tell you about it. The Mob Reporter here with the story of a fugitive police didn’t think would last long on the run, partly because he couldn’t really run at all, but was really living a comfortable life of beaches, palm trees, family and friends despite being at the top of Britain’s Most Wanted list. ** Please join me on Patreon for bonus content at The 55-year-old Richard Wakeling disappeared on the eve of his trial in England in 2018 for importing large volumes of amphetamine, hidden in a rare liquid form, and wasn’t seen again until February 10, 2023, when he was bagged by police 6,000 miles from home. He was living near a beautiful beach and holiday resort area in Hua Hin. CREDITS: Music is “Arp Ascent” by Div
