SYDNEY, Australia (AP) — Nicholas Jake Barton, the great-grandson of former British prime minister Winston Churchill, pleaded guilty Tuesday to knowingly taking part in a multimillion dollar ecstasy racket.

Barton was arrested at his Sydney home in June last year during a series of raids in which police seized some 250,000 ecstasy tablets worth around 15 million Australian dollars (US$13 million; €8.9 million).
The 33-year-old Briton, who is the son of James Barton and Arabella Spencer Churchill, pleaded guilty before Sydney’s Local Court to knowingly taking part in the supply of a commercial quantity of a prohibited drug.
The charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.
