Man banned from WhatsApp and FB messenger and needs permission to get in cars

A man who was dubbed 'Britain's Pablo Escobar' and even managed to make his way onto the Sunday Times Rich List while a wanted international criminal has been released from prison - and has been given an incredibly strict list of rules to follow. Curtis “Cocky” Warren, 59, was once worth an estimated £300 million, but he's spent most of the last 25 years behind bars.

He's now left Whitemoor maximum security prison in Cambridgeshire, after his latest 14-year jail term, and while he may be free, Warren has to abide by a strict set of requirements - as he's banned from using WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, it has been reported. It's expected that the former drug lord will return to his roots in Liverpool, but once there he will need to notify the police if he gets in a car - and he's not allowed to buy cryptocurrency either.
