A gangster nicknamed the "Godfather of Death" used part of his £500,000 compensation to wage a gang war on streets around the UK.
Julian Bell fractured his spine in a motorbike accident when he was 12 and was confined to a wheelchair after being left paralysed from the waist down.
Six years later, he was awarded £500,000 in compensation and with part of that money, he funded his move into crime, the Manchester Evening News reports.
