From the moment Liverpool's highest profile gangster was released from a Dutch jail in June 2007, he was looking for an opportunity.
Ten years behind bars in the Netherlands were not enough to discourage Curtis Warren from jumping almost straight back into a major drug trafficking plot. Today, weeks ahead of his release from his latest 14 year stint behind bars, questions are being asked about whether he will turn back to crime once again.
Back in 2007, from the moment Warren touched UK soil, he was being trailed by the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA). Over the next two weeks, they watched as Warren toured around the North West, sometimes driving for miles at a time just to use a public phone box for a few seconds. Then, on June 30, he drove to the airport and boarded a flight to Jersey.
