Drug dealer Curtis Warren accepts court order

Warren was sentenced to 13 years for drugs smuggling

Convicted drug dealer Curtis Warren has agreed that court restrictions should be placed on him on release from jail.

The 49-year-old from Liverpool, who is thought to have a £300m fortune from drug smuggling, had been due to fight a serious crime prevention order.

However, Warren accepted the order following talks between his legal team and HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).

The parties will now discuss a list of restrictions Warren will be subject to on release.

Warren, who was jailed for 13 years in 2009 for plotting to smuggle cannabis with a street value of £1m into Jersey, is expected to be released in two years' time.

Lord Carlile QC, for HMRC, said that as a result of "some very recent communications, we have been able to come to terms on which [Warren] submits to summary judgment".
