Anonymous witnesses say that Paul Massey "achieved his notoriety by exploiting teenagers before they were old enough to know better."

Large numbers of people turned out for Paul Massey's funeral.



"After running protection rackets in Salford, and building an estimated £5m fortune though property sales, he was named in 1992 by a social services boss as the mastermind behind organised crime in the city and was even placed under surveillance by MI5.

"Pub landlords and shopkeepers had to each pay on average £400 a week protection money to stop them being put out of business.

"Massey described himself as a security consultant and laundered much of his money gained from property and rackets in a legitimate security firm."



Anonymous witnesses say "the police helped him, backed him up.

"He didn't speak to the local officers; he spoke to the serious end.

"Sometimes if you crossed him, next thing you'd know is that your front door was being kicked in by the police."
