Curtis Warren 'banned from WhatsApp' when released from prison next month

Curtis Warren's freedom from prison will be tested under a number of strict measures when he is released next month.

Curtis "Cocky" Warren has been waiting for his release for the past 14 years but his freedom will be tested under a host of strict measures. The 59-year-old drug baron, who was once worth £200m, will be prohibited from using WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger and from using cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin.

Warren will also have to give a day's notice ahead of usual day-to-day activities such as hopping into someone's car or van. And a recent Times report said if Warren wants to travel to Scotland he will have to provide an NCA handler with seven days' notice.
