Miles Headley aka Mskeng 24 from South London was arrested in the June raids last year in relation to the hacking of encrochat in France, with a estimated 10k uk users of the services.
700 plus arrests were made in Operation Venetic and dozens of people have already been convicted but this week History has been made as Miles defence has produced a argument the judge couldn't deny was logical and just.
Charges against Miles Headley, 24, were dismissed this month after lawyers successfully argued the Met Police had failed to prove incriminating Encrochat messages about the supply of drugs had been sent by him or he ever held such a device.
He was arrested by the Met Police on June 24 at the home of his property developer father Reg Headley, 56.
Police swooped on the plush mansion in Sutton, south London, amid suspicion Headley junior was the user of an Encrochat device which sent messages concerning drug supply.
He was out on licence after being released from an earlier prison sentence.
In November 2015 Headley was jailed at Croydon Crown Court for eight years after he was found guilty of firearms offences.
He was arrested at his Dad's home on October 14, 2013, after a 17-year-old boy was left blinded after being shot in Ferrey Mews, Brixton, three days earlier.
Met Police officers found a loaded revolver and sawn-off shotgun at the Headley's home.
He was found guilty of the firearms offences, but not the attempted murder.
After being charged over the Encrochat device in June, Headley was recalled to prison.
Despite the device not being found, the prosecution believed it could prove Headley was the user of the phone called "Nextbuilder" through mobile phone cell site evidence and the password used on the device.
He was charged with one count of conspiracy to supply cocaine and another of conspiracy to supply cannabis between April 1 and June 26 this year.
Croydon Crown Court heard that there was no dispute Nextbuilder was involved in a conspiracy to supply drugs, but the defence argued the prosecution had failed to prove it was Headley.
Prosecuting, William Davis said mobile phone cell sites used by the Encrochat device and Headley's personal mobile phone were close to his home and used "azimuths" that pointed towards it, while the password used to access the device was "Headley."
Defending, Graham Lloyd, argued that prosecution evidence about high value cars found at the property was explained by the fact Headley's father was "extremely wealthy."
He also said there were "many hundreds" of other homes in the area in question where the Ebcrochat device could have been held, and that it
