Warren (61) has pleaded guilty at Liverpool Crown Court to breaching six conditions following his release from prison in 2022.

Officers from the National Crime Agency (NCA) arrested Warren at a home in South Tyneside in July last year .

According to the charges, he failed to notify the NCA of an application for a passport, and withheld details of bank accounts, credit cards, debit cards and communications equipment. He also failed to inform the NCA of all his sources of income.

He also drove a car whose license plate he had not reported to the NCA. Finally, he failed to report a change of address or that he was going on a trip to Spain.

Jersey
Curtis Warren served a very long prison sentence in the Netherlands for, among other things, dealing in hard drugs. He is one of the prisoners who spent a very long time in the Extra Secure Institution (EBI) in Vught.

After his release, he was caught again for drug trafficking. He was sentenced to 14 years in prison for large-scale smuggling of soft drugs to the British Channel Island of Jersey, and for failing to pay a confiscation order for £198 million in criminal money (almost 236 million euros).

Warren previously refused to accept a guilty plea and reduced sentence. His lawyer now says his client "doesn't want to be in the spotlight anymore" and wants peace in his life.
