The ECHO has looked back at the life of Curtis Warren, from growing up in Toxteth to becoming the international trafficker who changed the drug world
When international drug dealer and convicted killer Curtis Warren appeared before the courts this week his defence said he just 'wants peace' and 'not to be in the public glare anymore'. However, for close to four decades the Toxteth-born man, nicknamed 'Cocky,' has struggled to escape the limelight as he became the biggest name in the history of the city's underworld and Interpol's former 'Target One'.
Warren, now in his 30s, moved to the sleepy village of Sassenheim deep in the Dutch countryside . The Toxteth crook and his colleagues moved into a farmhouse called Bakara - and assumed they had evaded the scrutiny of the police. He owned casinos in Spain, discos in Turkey, a vineyard in Bulgaria and had millions stashed in Swiss bank accounts. However, officials in the UK and Holland joined forces to monitor Warren.
