Curtis Warren was this week arrested because he allegedly broke the extensive rules of his Serious Crime Prevention Order.
National Crime Agency (NCA) officers arrested the 60-year-old at the house of Stephanie Smithwhite - the former prison officer jailed for having a relationship with the Liverpool gangster while he was in HMP Frankland. Warren was arrested on suspicion of breaching the order, with NCA officers stating the alleged breaches "relate to the unauthorised use of mobile phones, vehicles, bank accounts and travel".
The order came into force in November 2022 after his release from Whitemoor Prison, Cambridgeshire, where he served the end of a 14 years for drug trafficking offences. A number of strict measures were introduced upon his release, including being prohibited from using WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger and from using cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin.
