Convicted Leeds drug dealer Curtis Clark has been ordered to repay a total of £393,363.77 or face an extra four years behind bars.
The 25-year-old appeared at Leeds Crown Court on Monday for a Proceeds of Crime Act hearing, where the court gave him a deadline of three months to pay back nearly £400,000.
Clark was originally sentenced to 65 months in prison last August after admitting to running a Class A and B drug empire and laundering large sums of illicit money.
Clark was a member of an organised crime gang involved in distributing significant quantities of drugs across Leeds and West Yorkshire. Police raids in November 2024 at Clark’s home and other properties in Whitkirk uncovered £270,000 in cash, two luxury cars, designer clothes, and three Rolex watches valued at £100,000.
Detective Inspector Alastair Nicholls said, “This order ensures Clark won’t pocket criminal earnings after prison. Recovered assets will be used to disrupt crime and support our communities.”
