LIVERPOOL drugs baron Curtis Warren yesterday vowed to take his fight for freedom all the way to the European Court of Human Rights.

Yesterday, five Law Lords at the Privy Council unanimously rejected Warren’s appeal against some of the evidence used to snare him when he was arrested in Jersey in 2007 for a £1m drugs plot.

Despite losing, Warren, 47, was said to have taken the decision “calmly” and had already begun planning to take the case to a hearing in the Strasbourg court.

For the 3½ years since his arrest as he walked down the Channel Island seafront, the Toxteth gangster has battled to have crucial evidence used against him and his five co-conspirators thrown out of the case.

After hearing a day-and-a-half of legal submissions last month, the Privy Council, sitting at London’s Supreme Court on Parliament Square, rejected his appeal that the police’s actions amounted to an “abuse of process.”

The Law Lords were scathing about the Jersey officers who illegally bugged a hire car that was central to the drugs plot, lying to French police as well as counterparts in Belgium and Holland.
