Leon Cullen - Vile bullying gangster

Leon Cullen made almost £350k from the supply of guns, ammunition and cocaine between June 1 2016 to January 11 2018. He was ordered to pay back his ill-gotten gains.

He was jailed for 22 years after he admitted running a gun and drug gang. Cullen was a well known Liverpool drug dealer who became embroiled with more established gangs and started a street war. After a series of violent incidents Cullen was arrested in Dubai and then extradited back to the UK. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply firearms, conspiracy to possess ammunition and conspiracy to supply cocaine. The Cullen brothers and their associates supplied guns and drugs to smaller gangs and sent henchmen to threaten anyone who owed a debt. 20 men were jailed for a total of 185 years. Nigel Gerke bought 10 years.

Twin brothers Leon and Anthony Cullen grew up in the Longford area which became a stronghold for their gang. Leon was known to be the more volatile of the two thugs. Liverpool residents were relieved after they were finally caged.
