Mickey Green

known as the Pimpernel, a multi-millionaire criminal who has been on the run for more than 20 years and is believed to be one of the most senior figures in the British underworld. A successful armed robber during the Seventies when he ran a gang called the 'Wembley Mob', Green, now 60, moved into the drug trade after leaving prison in the early Eighties. He now owns bars and property in Wembley, West Hampstead, Dublin and Marbella. In the past he has had a string of detectives on his payroll and has had close connections with the notorious Adams family, the powerful London gangsters. He was named Europe's most wanted drugs baron and nicknamed 'the octopus' for the tentacles of his ever-expanding network.

But Green has always stayed one step ahead of the law, leaving behind speedboats, yachts, Rolls-Royces, a Porsche, a Ferrari, gold bullion, cash and cocaine in his haste to get away. He has worked out of Morocco, France and the US, where he consorted with the Mafia and flew in and out of Colombia before his arrest in Beverly Hills, where he was living in Rod Stewart's former house. FBI agents arrested Green as he lounged by the pool. He lived up to his nickname by escaping the charges.

When you say he "escaped charges" do you mean they were not "proven"
by the legal profession,given that he has been charged by various countries and "escaped" their charges are you implying that he is either super human or that the law on several continents is inept,
so far Your main body of text is purely regurgitated text from old stories

How do you justify your claims in this case or any other, & given that the claims, to date, are unproven, do you not run the risk of bordering on slander ?, or don't you mind being seen a plagiarist site? come on give us something new that can be substantiated if you are to acquire any credibility

Or is this just sensationalising the Costa Del crime for your benefit?

Thanks Paul interesting comments. You are left to make the judgement as the reader. I am sure Mr Green can answer for himself and his very intersting lifestyle on the Costas and Morroco. Information on Mickey was gleaned from various police sources. There maybe another reason for the euphenism of escaped charges.

Mickey Green originally fled the UK after being investigated by UK Customs Investigators in late 1981 for his part in an £8 million VAT gold scam. There were several Old Bailey convictions in "Operation Finger" but Green had evaded capture and a warrant was issued. Green had been involved in transporting gold into Northolt airport in private jets, this was then sold through intermediaries into the London Gold Market and VAT not accounted for. A convicted conspirator was Spencer Eade, at that time the brother in law of Robert Guy the Chairman of the London Gold Committee and himself from Rothschilds(Guy not involved), another co-conspirator also convicted was Ronnie Dark earlier of the Wembley Bank Gang and at the time of his arrest (in the false name of Henry Thomas Blake) not long out of prison.
