AN EX On The Beach star is wanted in Spain over allegations of "large scale drugs trafficking" after more than 180kgs of cocaine was siezed. Jack Fraser, 34, who also appeared in The Only Way is Essex (TOWIE), was labelled a "serious organised criminal" when he appeared before Westminster Magistrates' Court. He is wanted for charges in Spain after allegedly being involved in the trafficking of the narcotics.

Fraser denies the charges. To his 43,000 followers on Instagram, Fraser is a doting dad to his 18-month-old son, a serious gym buff, and pal to stars like Ant Middleton. But, CPS Prosecutor Andrew Held told the court Fraser was a big time drug dealer. He said: "The allegation is he was involved in the trafficking of a very large quantity of cocaine, 184kg, which was seized from a boat called the Eulalia on November 15 2021.

"It is alleged by Spain he was part of a group who were involved in the transportation of these drugs and his role was provision of logistical support to other members of the group - he paid for accommodation and rented a house for the crew members.". Held said Fraser had a "very significant incentive" to flee due to the charges and the potential to be deported to Spain if he was released from prison on bail.

Fraser, from Kent, is opposing extradition and appeared under his full name of Jacques René Fraser. He is looking at a six to nine year sentence if convicted, the court was told. Held said the UK prosecution case was that in March 2020, Fraser bought 6.85kgs of cocaine for around £180,000 with the intention to supply others. He was arrested as part of the investigation into the use of the EncroChat encrypted mobile phone system used by thousands of criminals.

Westminster Mags also heard that Fraser is still awaiting sentence at Maidstone Crown Court for class A drug supply offence he was convicted of last April. At Maidstone Crown Court on April 16 last year he pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply in the UK of a class A drugs between March 3 and June 30, 2020. Although he had admitted that offence, he disputed the amount of cocaine involved. That matter will be dealt with at another hearing on May 16 and Fraser can't be extradited to Spain before that sentence.

Held said: "It's significant and very much the same type of offending alleged by the authorities in Spain, very serious organised crime involving large quantities of drugs and large sums of money. "It would appear Mr Fraser is an organised criminal and if released on bail I submit he would go out and commit further criminal acts. "From the nature of the offending he has pleaded guilty to, he is a man involved in very serious cross border organised crime related to drugs and has significant funds and a significant network of connections which would make it much easier to flee the jurisdiction should he be granted bail.".

At a previous hearing in the British prosecution, on April 3 last year, Judge Robert Lazarus said it was the prosecution's case that Fraser had acted as a "runner" for “kilogram quantities” of cocaine. He said: "The Crown are going to contend this is category A, a significant role. “That is a meaty sentence. The opportunity for him to escape immediate custody is pretty remote.”. Representing Fraser, Amabel Kerr, said he should be released on strict conditional bail, with a £12,000 surety to the court, as he has always complied with his bail conditions in the UK case.

She said: "There is no suggestion he was a fugitive when he left Spain as there were no proceedings at the time. The drugs were seized On November 15, but he left on November 13. "He asserts he had no part in the alleged (Spanish) offending and was not in Spain when the alleged offending occurred.". She said his partner was reliant on him financially and he was due to have surgery regarding a leg injury from a motorbike accident over two years ago.

Judge Stephen Leake refused bail saying £12,000 was not enough, given the amount of drugs involved, and adjourned the case for 28 days. The court heard Fraser has various driving convictions dating back to 2013. In July 2020 Fraser avoided a prison term after he admitted dangerous driving and aggravated vehicle taking after ramming a stolen BMW into a pursuing police car at a time when he had already been banned from driving.

He was spotted by officers in Kent in the powerful 4 Series 425d vehicle on 21 September 2018 – a month after the car had been stolen. The pursuit started in the village of Betsham, near Southfleet, Kent, and only ended when he crashed on the A2 slip road in nearby Ebbsfleet, after ramming the Kent Force’s vehicle. He then tried to flee on foot. In July 2020 he was given a 15-month jail sentence suspended for two years with 250 hours of community service and banned from driving for three years, with compensation and costs to pay.
