The Liverpool Drug Lord Who Made The Times Rich List | Gangs Of Britain | Absolute Crime

The brothers explore the gang history of Liverpool and reveal the story of a 1990s drug lord who became one of the country's wealthiest men. Gary and Martin turn the spotlight on Liverpool and its life blood, the River Mersey. From the very beginning the docks determined the fortunes of this city. They have also allowed local criminals to play a part on the international stage, the most infamous being Curtis Warren, a leading figure in the Liverpool Mafia in the '90s. Warren is the only known criminal to make it onto The Times Rich List; his fortune amassed in the murky world of Britain's £2billion a year cocaine business. But Liverpool gangs haven't always been such high rollers...

    A friend from my school days was the landlady of the The Lion Tavern seen in the documentary. Sadly in 1993 she was found dead in the upstairs accommodation, she had been murdered by her ex who went on the run taking their baby with him, thankfully the little boy was found unharmed in Scotland, and the scumbag was soon apprehended. RIP DJ

    The book about him was brilliant, the fact that he was a scouser made the police's job of untangling his code almost impossible. I don't condone drugs, nor violence or any part of his business but he was a pretty clever bloke as it goes, shame he didn't go into something legal as I'm pretty sure he would've been successful.

    The government should leave Curtis Warren alone now. He’s served his time and done his punishment. But their ego is still bruised because he outsmarted them for years and he also had the balls to do the extra bird rather than hand over £millions to them. The government are just cowardly bullies but they’ll never break him no matter what they do.

    @Thetruth558 I agree with everything you say here especially after reading the list of charges, sent to crown court, from Liverpool magistrates, last week, regarding C.W. " failing to notify " . It's so obviously bitterness and bruised egos that can't let him be to get on and enjoy the few decades he has left . Poor decisions from authorities, imo .
