Trainee accountant was jailed for trying to help criminal dad Jack from Tamworth, Birmingham a trainee accountant, became caught up in Bomber's criminal enterprises when he tried to help his father orchestrate a lighter sentence for drug smuggling. The plot involved acquiring and then hiding a stash of handguns, machine guns and ammunition and then alerting the National Crime Agency (NCA) to its location with X marking the spot on a map. The scheme was foiled after the NCA uncovered incriminating messages on encrypted EncroChat which had been cracked by French counterparts. Jack was arrested in May 2023 at Malaga Airport by officers from the Spanish National Police while he was travelling to Turkey. The house in Tamworth, near Birmingham He was extradited to the UK where he pleaded guilty to conspiring to possess firearms and ammunition. But in December last year, Judge Philip Katz KC accepted he was more of an 'enthusiastic messenger' than an 'organiser' as he sentenced him to three years and one month in prison. Effectively Because he had already effectively served his time on remand, the sentence secured Jack's release from Belmarsh prison, from where he appeared by video-link for his sentencing. Judge Katz told him: 'Although I accept you got involved out of misguided loyalty to your father, you entered into this agreement with your eyes open.' Unlike, Thomas Kavanagh, who was 'a notorious and leading member of an organised crime group', the defendant had no previous convictions and was a young man of good character, the court was told. Now, seven months after gaining his freedom, and as fresh financial woes were heaped on Bomber this week when the Crown Prosecution Service hit him with a €1.26 million proceeds of crime bill, Jack has taken the first steps towards building his own legal enterprise. Company documents show Jack – whose nationality is registered as Irish – registered Oakline Roofing Limited as a new company with him as its sole director on June 29. The company is one of three companies headquartered out of Bomber's family home in Sutton Road, Mile Oak, Tamworth. Two other companies, a security company and a car sale company, are shown as being headquartered at the same address. The Sunday World previously revealed that the Crown Prosecution Service had imposed a freezing order on any sale of the fortified Tamworth Property pending the outcome of the proceeds of crime probe into his activities. Kavanagh, 57, who headed UK operations for the mob and cartel lieutenant 'Flash' Gary Vickery, 42, were present to hear the outcome of the proceed of crime probe hearing in Ipswich Crown Court on Friday morning. Looking tanned and trim in a dark grey T-shirt as he sat in an interview room in Belmarsh prison, Kavanagh listened on with his arms folded as the hearing went through his assets. Officers estimated that Kavanagh's criminal profits were in the region £12.2m, but recoverable assets amounted to £1,123,096.84. 'This includes his 50% share of his fortified family mansion in Tamworth, Staffordshire, money from the sale of various other properties in the UK and a villa in Spain, and approximately £150,000 of high-end bags, clothes and accessories which were discovered when Kavanagh's house was searched following his initial arrest in 2019,' they said.
