Macintyre's Underworld
Get Conroy (2x1)
:
Paddy Conroy was one of the most influential gang leaders in Newcastle and is at the centre of an on-going battle with rival crime families in the city’s West End. He was dubbed Britain’s most wanted man after escaping from police custody before being caught and convicted of kidnap and torture. The court heard how he pulled out a rival’s tooth with a pair of pliers. He was sentenced to 12 years in a category ‘A’ prison.
We met Paddy at home following his early release after a decade in prison. As part of his bail conditions, he remains on licence. Therefore even a minor offence, or associating with other criminals, could land him back in jail. Within weeks of his release, a rival firm has put a £100,000 contract on his head and his enemies are taunting him in public.
If Paddy is to keep his freedom he needs to learn to hold back. And this won't be an easy task for a man a reputation for settling scores.
