'Ste v Cazza': Paul Massey ally's gangland feud 'settled' with a 'straightener in Dubai'

Warring alleged gang bosses appear to have settled their long-running feud with a fist-fight in Dubai, the Manchester Evening News. has learned. Michael 'Cazza' Carroll and Stephen Britton - named in gangland trials as the leaders of rival Salford outfits - took part in a 'straightener' witnessed by their supporters, according to gangland sources.

Detectives at Greater Manchester Police are also understood to have logged intelligence about the scrap, alleged to have been 'won' by Cazza until at least one of those watching the encounter is said to have stepped in and joined the fray. Only time will tell if the fist-fight will bring an end to tensions between two notorious Salford-based gangs.

Stephen Britton, named as leader of the A Team in successive trials, and Michael 'Cazza' Carroll, named as the boss of the splinter group known as the Anti A Team, are said to have been at war since before the 2015 murder of Britton's mentor, Salford 'Mr Big' Paul Massey. Massey was gunned down by a masked assassin wearing army fatigues Mark 'The Iceman' Fellows, outside his suburban home in Clifton, Salford, in July 2015.
