Our take on Gangster podcast

Curtis Warren was one of the biggest and richest British drug barons. BBC Radio 5 Live produces the Gangster podcast. One episode at a time recounts his remarkable journey from a small-time trader in Liverpool's rough and violent streets to the pinnacle of the international cocaine trade. Warren was the first mobster to hit the Sunday Times rich list when he earned £15m a week and became Interpol's "number one target" - one of the most wanted criminals in the world.
