LIVERPOOL drugs baron Curtis Warren was today told he will stay in jail for years to come after unanimously losing his final appeal against his conviction for a £1m cannabis plot.
In a judgement lasting no more than a minute, the five Law Lords of the Privy Council today condemned the Toxteth-born gangster to the confines of his cell at HMP Belmarsh for at least the next five years.
The Law Lords, led by the Right Hon Lord Dyson, listened to a day-and-a-half of legal submissions last month before taking six weeks to decide on Warren’s fate.
And this morning, in the Supreme Court on London’s Parliament Square, they announced they would be advising Her Majesty the Queen, in whose name Privy Council decisions are made, to reject the appeal.
Warren, 47, was not in court to hear the judgement handed down as the building was deemed not secure enough to hold Interpol’s former Target One.
Warren is currently serving 13 years behind bars after being convicted on the Channel Island of Jersey of masterminding a £1m cannabis smuggling plot.
He was arrested in July 2007, little more than a month after he was freed from serving 10 years in various Dutch prisons for drug trafficking.
