NO SUNSHINE Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 A drugs baron has been found guilty of conspiring to import £1m of cannabis into Jersey by boat from Amsterdam.Jurors at Jersey Royal Court convicted Merseyside gangster Curtis Warren of conspiring to import a controlled drug. During the two-week trial the court had heard that Warren, 46, of Liverpool, wanted to flood the Jersey drugs market with cannabis. Jurors also found five other men, accused of working with Warren, guilty of the same charge. John Welsh, 43, also from Liverpool, James O'Brien, 45, of Glasgow, Jason Woodward, 22, of Dartford, Kent, Paul Hunt, 27, and Oliver Lucas, 23, had denied a charge of conspiring to import drugs. No emotionDuring the trial the court heard how the gang planned to buy 180kg of cannabis in Amsterdam and bring it into an isolated cove in Jersey by boat. Warren showed no emotion as the jury returned its unanimous verdict after nine hours of deliberation. Police surveillance teams and bugging devices were used to record Warren arranging with associates to obtain and transfer the cannabis haul. The jury heard that in one conversation Warren described the plot as "just a little starter". Warren was the ring-leader of the gang and the key link between the sale in Holland and buyers in Jersey, jurors heard. "He was the man at the top who pulled the strings. He had considerable clout and influence and we say he orchestrated this conspiracy," Crown Advocate Howard Sharp had said. 'Police are liars'During the trial defence lawyers said the case against the six men was "laughable" and that there were "no drugs, no money, no boat". Advocate Stephen Baker, representing Warren, also criticised Jersey police. "You can't rely on this crown case, on these police officers. They're liars, they're cheats and they daren't even go into the witness box to tell you the truth," he said. Warren was once Interpol's most wanted drugs trafficker and, even after a decade in a Dutch jail, police still consider him to be one of Britain's most wealthy and influential criminals, the court heard.

charliechalk Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Anyone who believes this story is an idiot. If you read the story properly in more details especially the details of what was said in court they were "struggling" to find around £30,000 (I think it is this amount) to complete the deal. If you think Curtis hasn't got that amount of money you're mad. Set up to end all set ups. They just don't want him to be out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChickenCottage Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Had to stop reading after "flood the Jersey market". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliechalk Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 And the worst thing about this farce is that to flood the Jersey market would only make him a small amount considering how small the population is ANYWAY never mind then factoring in the small percentage of actual drug users... then to split it however many ways. This therefore would be a redundant exercise for him. Plus the fact that some of the jury were in tears whilst giving the guilty verdict - they blatantly didn't think he was guilty.Bullshit mate.
