Britain's biggest-ever supergrass will have a “target on his back” for life after his evidence jailed 29 gangland villains for 250 years.

He must hide under a new identity after giving key information at six major organised crime group trials.

Investigators took eight months, 115 recorded interviews and 10,000 pages of his evidence to bring them to justice.

His role, reminiscent of Ray Liotta as FBI informant Henry Hill in Martin Scorsese’s 1990 mobster movie Goodfellas, can be reported today after he and his family were given protective custody.

Teesside crown court heard the former drug dealer, who was tortured after he stole cocaine from a drug baron, made a deal with police and prosecutors.

He and his family will receive secure accommodation, a new identity and the ability to start afresh in return for the “unprecedented” help he gave.

“Mr X” spent 40 days in the witness box and the criminals he shopped now stand to lose millions under Proceeds of Crime powers.

Before getting official protection, he confessed to 23 offences including drug dealing, arson and burglary.

In return for his evidence, he was given a 15-month suspended term instead of up to 14 years.

The gangsters he put away got long terms, including one life sentence.

Judge Deborah Sherwin told Mr X:

“It is believed the assistance you provided is the greatest ever in this country.

“If your life wasn’t in danger before, I am certain it is now.

“Wherever you live you will spend your life constantly in fear. I have no doubt you will be professionally sought by those who wish you harm.

"If not for people like you and arrangements such as this, many dangerous offenders would not have been brought to justice.”

Mr X had been involved in a conspiracy to supply cocaine with dealer David Gloyne.

It also involved Yvan Nikolic, the “Mr Big” and a major international player who was arrested as he sought to get out of Greece and into Ukraine.

He was extradited to the UK on the first day of lockdown in March, 2020, with UK officers waiting for him to be handed over.

Having put himself in debt to Gloyne, in 2015, Mr X tried to pay it off by recovering 50kg of cocaine from a container at Tilbury, Essex.

The plot failed and he then tried to steal 27kg of the drug from Gloyne.

Det Sgt Paddy O’Keefe, of Northumbria Police, said:

“Nikolic was the reason these drugs were coming across our borders, with Gloyne responsible for the UK operation.

“The evidence of our witness was critical in jailing him for 21 years.

"A watch seized from his wrist on conviction was a £37,000 Patik Philippe.”

Det Insp Alan Turner, of North East Regional Special Operations Unit, who led the investigation which triggered the trials, said:

“The type of people locked up is so important.

“They set light to people’s houses.
"They were shooting windows through.
"Significant organised crime groups were dismantled.”

Richard Herrmann, prosecuting, said Mr X initially gave police information from November 2015 to April 2016.

It was deemed too dangerous to continue
