About this listen

In this episode, we talk about Liverpool’s long history of gang violence, from the brutal murder of Richard Morgan by the Cornermen in 1874 over a sixpence, to Curtis Warren’s £40 million heroin operation in the 1990s. We cover how the city’s docks turned it into a global smuggling hub, how economic collapse fueled the rise of the Liverpool Mafia, and how Warren became one of Interpol’s most wanted men. We break down the public outrage, the failures of law enforcement, the rise of organized drug trafficking, and the operations that finally brought Warren down.
