Wright pleaded guilty to five drug charges at Liverpool Crown Court last month.
He created an amphetamine lab in Motherwell in March 2020 during the first Covid lockdown. It was capable of producing 1,000kg of amphetamine.
He also helped ship at least 20kg of cocaine and 10kg of heroin between Motherwell and Merseyside.
NCA Branch Commander Cat McHugh said: “Wright’s case shows that criminals who seek refuge abroad are never immune from law enforcement’s reach.
“His sentencing means that we have completely dismantled this organised crime group, who posed a grave danger to communities in Scotland and Merseyside, with the drugs they trafficked helping to fuel violence and exploitation.”
