Nottingham Post - Ex-Magpies star is jailed in drugs case
Saturday, August 20, 2011
FORMER Notts County star Rachid Harkouk has been jailed for 28 months for conspiring to supply illegal drugs.
The ex-Magpies midfielder was sentenced at Birmingham Crown Court this week after being arrested as part of a major Warwickshire Police operation targeting people involved in supplying Class A and B drugs in the Rugby area.
••..The 55-year-old, of The Leas, Bulcote, was jailed after pleading guilty at an earlier hearing to conspiracy to supply amphetamines.
He pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to supply cocaine. This charge will lie on file.
Warwickshire Police arrested 11 people, including Harkouk, in a series of dawn raids in Nottingham, Rugby and Wolverhampton on December 15 last year.
The raids were part of an operation which has led to eight people being charged with drug supply offences.
Officers recovered heroin, crack cocaine, amphetamines, ecstasy and cannabis worth around £75,000.
Weapons including a sawn-off shotgun and ammunition, machetes, knives and a samurai sword have also been recovered.
Harkouk made 169 league and cup appearances for Notts County, scoring 52 goals after signing for £50,000 from QPR at the start of the 1980-81 season.
Harkouk quickly won over County fans by scoring on his debut in a 2-2 draw with Leyton Orient at Meadow Lane in the Anglo-Scottish Cup.
He also helped secure a memorable piece of Notts history by scoring one of two goals in a victory at Chelsea which secured the club's promotion to the top flight at the end of the 1980-81 campaign.
Harkouk's most prolific season for Notts came in 1984-85 when he scored 19 goals.
He caught the attention of Algerian selectors and played two games in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.
If anyone was wondering where he is now and what he has bben doing, well now you know. Very sad.
