Former North East Lincolnshire Councillor jailed for blackmail.
Nigel Wright tried to blackmail Tesco after putting metal in baby food.
A former North East Lincolnshire councillor has been jailed for 14 years following one of the biggest blackmail inquiries in UK history.
45-year-old Nigel Wright, of Caistor Road, Market Rasen, spiked baby food with pieces of metal and asked Tesco for almost one and a half million pounds in bitcoin to reveal were they were.
Detective Inspector Lucy Thomson says Operation Hancock was a once-in-a-life-time investigation.
He was a North East Lincolnshire councillor for part of the noughties.
