Описание: Jamie Rothwell: The Kingpin Who Ordered Hits During COVID Lockdown

For years, Jamie Rothwell ruled the Manchester and Salford underworld with a reputation built on fear, power, and violence. Once one of Britain’s most dangerous gangsters, Rothwell ran a £26 million drug empire that supplied cocaine, heroin, and firearms across the North West. His name became synonymous with the A-Team vs. Anti-A-Team gang wars, where retribution and loyalty drew the line between life and death.

But even the “untouchable” have a breaking point.

This is not just another gangland story.
