These are the faces of 24 people locked up for crimes in court cases linked to Liverpool and Merseyside this past week.
A cocaine boss was shot on his doorstep over debt to an underworld crime queen dubbed The Banker after police seized £20million of his drugs in the UK s biggest-ever land seizure, a court has heard.
Liverpool brothers John and Alan Tobin sold vast amounts of cocaine, heroin, cannabis and ketamine to notorious gangs across the country backed by their enforcer , ex-cage fighter Robbie The Bear Broughton.
But their highly profitable business was dealt a fatal blow when police seized a van, containing 186kg of 90 per cent pure cocaine, on the M6 in August 2018.
It can now be revealed that debts to a mystery figure known only as The Banker led to John Tobin, 40, being shot outside his home in Prescot last year.
