I watched the film last week and did a few google searches and ended up on the Bernard Mahoney site,and on the message boards on there he does say that a lot of whats in the film is made up.The film is just based on Carlton Leachs life.In particular the scene in the pizza place when he slices him open is made up,the police photo of the pizza manager shows him just to have a mark on his forehead.I`ll see if i can find the pages i read.Its on the 4th reply down.

You have to remember the film is a bit of entertainment, not a forensic look at the facts. Nipper (the so called welsh guy) is more cockney than alf Garnet, the pizza guy who waqs slashed up in reality only had a small graze where his head was bumped (photo on here somewhere) and the notion CL knew about the drug importations etc....is tosh because he says in his own book he didnt have a clue what TT was up to. His book is out next month, it will be interesting to read `what new exploits` he remembers being involved in after 13 years! The acid test for the truth I guess, lies with 3rd parties, the people who investigated the murders would have spoken to key members of the firm, tuckers closest friends etc...etc....the statemenrts are on here, if he is being honest, i am sure his name is on the site somewhere.
