Britain's most notorious drug baron who runs £300M empire all the way from his prison cell has been issued an extraordinary warning to stop running his multi-million-pound criminal empire from behind bars.
Curtis Warren, 48, a convicted killer who once topped Interpol's most wanted list, is in a high-security prison serving a 13-year sentence for cannabis smuggling.
In an unprecedented step, the order instructs the Liverpudlian to stop breaking the law.
Last night, the drug lord's lawyer said his client is expected to fight the order on the grounds of his 'human rights'.
Warren, the only drug dealer to feature on the Sunday Times Rich List, has an illegal empire estimated to be worth up to £300million.
He is in Full Sutton prison near York.
The terms of the order include:
A restriction on Warren's use of communication devices and public telephones;
A restriction on him being in possession of more than £1,000 to 'make it harder for him to purchase drugs or reward his criminal associates';
A financial reporting requirement 'that will deter him from committing acquisitive crime, and give the law enforcement authorities the opportunity to investigate any wealth he comes into'.
Warren, a former bouncer once described as the 'most successful British criminal who has ever been caught', was jailed in 1995 while living in the Netherlands after Dutch police found a haul of drugs and banknotes worth £125million.
While in prison, he killed a convicted murderer, Cemal Guclu, during a fight.
