Viv Graham leidde een imperium voor de bescherming van pubs en clubs dat zich uitstrekte over Newcastle en daarbuiten. Hoe wist hij zijn angstaanjagende reputatie op te bouwen, en wat leidde uiteindelijk tot zijn brute, onopgeloste moord?
A bloody and bitter feud between two of Glasgow’s most notorious crime families which has raged for more than two decades, leading to violence and murder. Why the Daniel crime group and the Lyons crime group fell out isn’t clear.
The story goes it was linked to the theft of a stash of drugs – or because the Lyons were encroaching on Daniel territory. Whatever the cause, the dispute exploded into a series of astonishingly violent tit for tat attacks which have cast a dark shadow over the city of Glasgow. The most high profile – the very public assassination of Daniel’s enforcer Kevin “Gerbil” Carroll. He was shot dead in a hail of bullets in front of terrified shoppers in an Asda carpark in 2010.
Delving into Glasgow’s gangland past and it’s history of violent crime, the series hears from former gangsters, ordinary members of the public caught up in this vicious turf war and the police officers fighting to take down the mobsters. Many of those at the heart of the violence are now locked up in prison – or dead. But the fear is that this is a feud which is so ingrained it could go on for generations to come.

As Jamie Daniels drug empire continues to grow, a violent feud begins with a rival crime family – one that will lead to an all out bloody war on the streets of Glasgow.
After serving time for heroin smuggling, Jamie Daniel is back in business. But a road rage incident involving a family member and a rival leads to a murder unlike any seen before in Glasgow. And there’s more trouble on the horizon, this time with a family from the neighbouring Milton estate – the Lyons. What starts as a dispute over drugs leads to a series of increasingly violent tit for tat attacks and shootings. At its centre is a Daniel enforcer with his own vicious crew – someone who is known in the underworld as Gerbil.
