The Crime Bosses Who Terrorised a City

For years, they trafficked huge quantities of drugs and threatened anyone who stood in their way. Now most of the gangsters who ran the Huyton Firm are behind bars after 10,000 of their secret messages were decrypted and used as evidence in court. The messages reveal the brutal reality of organised crime as never before. They show how the Liverpool mobsters ordered shootings and hand grenade attacks, while boasting of their own sickening crimes. Reporter Bronagh Munro investigates the crime bosses who terrorised a city.
