A jailed drugs baron dubbed Britain's Pablo Escobar will be freed next month, but when he is out he will be banned from WhatsApp - and won't be allowed to travel to Scotland without telling the authorities first.

Curtis 'Cocky' Warren, now 59, is poised to be released from his prison sentence but he will be subject to the terms of an uber-strict crime prevention order which means his liberty will be restricted.

The Liverpool mobster once reputed to be worth almost £200m, who had links with Manchester gangland, has been behind bars for the last 14 years.

But when he finally emerges from jail next month he will be prohibited from using WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, and from using cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin.
