"The Devil" gives a true snapshot of organised crime in the UK today, revealing the hidden depth and breadth to which it has penetrated society and how it affects all our lives. Gangster Stephen French stole GBP20 million from Britain's biggest drug traffickers during his reign as the underworld's top narcotics 'taxman' - a new form of extortionist who kidnaps drug dealers and forces them to hand over a slice of their profits using torture and extreme violence. From Sicily to Istanbul, French was feared by those who claim to fear no one. He kidnapped and tortured some of the world's richest and most ruthless crime lords, using unspeakable acts of evil until they paid up. French's other claim to fame is that he was responsible for Curtis Warren's introduction to the world of crime, forcing him to carry out a burglary at the age of ten. Warren went on to become the wealthiest criminal in British history and French was his top enforcer. Now a legitimate businessman, French built up an empire worth GBP7.5 million at its height. Having turned his back on his former life, he is seeking to set the record straight.
