A corrupt detective who made more than £1 million by selling drugs he was meant to be destroying will only have to pay back an amount equating to a quarter of his ill-gotten gains.
Nicholas McFadden, 39, while a detective constable at West Yorkshire Police, helped himself to heroin, cocaine and cannabis that had been confiscated from criminals and sold it on the streets for more than £600,000.
However, a confiscation hearing held at Leeds Crown Court today was told how he made a total of £1,102,204.31 from his crimes.
He used the dirty money to lavish gifts on both his wife and ex-fiancee and fund his extravagant lifestyle - including buying an orangery.
In April 2013, he was sentenced to 23 years behind bars and was yesterday ordered to pay £257,052.08 - the total value of all the assets available to him.
McFadden, who decided to stay in his cell while the hearing took place, was given six months to pay the amount and warned that, if he defaults, three years will be added to his jail term.
