'British Pablo Escobar' Will Have To Follow Strict Conditions When He's Released Later This Year

Curtis Warren, dubbed 'Britain's Pablo Escobar', is due to leave prison in November this year, but the criminal will face strict conditions upon his release. 

Despite being known as 'Liverpool's most infamous gangster', Warren - who has spent almost half his life behind bars - might not even be able to return to the city where he was born after he’s set free.

What’s more, he’ll be on the National Crime Agency's list of individuals issued with serious crime prevention orders, which limits what Warren can do for five years after his release.

According to MailOnline, Warren not only faces a possible ‘ban’ from Liverpool, but his presence on the NCA’s list means he’ll also be restricted in his ability to buy property and cars, borrow money, make transfers and use foreign or digital currency like Bitcoin. 

Failure to comply with the above could land Warren back in jail. 

Not only is it claimed Warren still has £1 million hidden away in plastic bags in Liverpool, but prosecutors also fear he could have around £200 million stashed in secret. 

The Liverpool Echo reports that prosecutors are wary of a 'murky network of hidden assets' through which he could access money made via drug trafficking.

Sentenced most recently in 2009 to 13 years in prison after being found guilty of conspiracy to smuggle cannabis, Warren insists he has no money left and had previously not paid a confiscation order that would have seen him leave prison years ago.

The Echo notes that if there is money hidden away for Warren to use when he leaves prison, he’ll likely have a hard time using it.

Once he walks free he'll be under close scrutiny from the authorities, who will be looking for any sign that he's accessed a hidden stash of cash.

Warren earned a fortune worth £200 million and has been linked to Colombian drug cartels in the past. 

He often goes by the nickname ‘Cocky Watchman’ and started his career as a bouncer in the early 80s.

Warren’s involvement in armed robbery and international drug trafficking spanned the 90s and he was slapped with his first sentence in 1996.

Warren was sentenced for trying to move a £125 million drugs shipment from the Netherlands to the UK and had his sentence extended for killing a fellow inmate. 

Weeks after his 2007 release, Warren was once again arrested over drugs charges and handed a 13-year sentence. 

He is thought to be imprisoned at HMP Long Lartin, a high-security prison in Worcestershire.

LADbible has approached HMP Long Lartin for comment.
