Curtis "Cocky" Warren Part Two: The £198 Million Man

Curtis “Cocky” Warren Part Two: The £198 Million Man Five weeks. That was all the freedom Curtis “Cocky” Warren experienced after spending almost a decade behind bars before he found himself under arrest again. In Part Two, we follow Warren into an extraordinary surveillance operation on the island of Jersey. Police believed he was behind a conspiracy to import 180 kilograms of cannabis worth more than £1 million — but some of the most important evidence came from covert recordings obtained after officers went beyond the surveillance permission they’d received. What followed was a battle that reached the Privy Council, another lengthy prison sentence and an extraordinary attempt to recover the fortune authorities believed Warren had accumulated through years of international drug trafficking. The figure eventually placed on it? £198 million. We follow Warren through the Jersey conviction, the fight over the covert recordings, the confiscation proceedings, years more behind bars and his eventual release under extensive restrictions. Throughout both parts of this story, we separate documented fact from allegation and gangland mythology — because the legend of Cocky Warren is enormous. But so was the price. 🎧 TRY AUDIBLE FREE FOR 30 DAYS I genuinely use Audible myself and have built up a huge audiobook library over the years.
