Never heard of this guy De Niro but he sounds like a right nasty bit of work
Plenty of villians in Newcastle,mostly in the West End of the city (i live in the East End)who fight over protection rackets,ownership of pubs and taxi firms and of course...drugs. It always boils down to drugs does'nt it?
Most of the gangs are proper families....as in blood relatives,there always seems to be hundreds of them!
