Paul Grimes (criminal)

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Paul Grimes (born 26 May 1950) is an English former

informer with the aim of bringing down the drug dealers who he felt had destroyed his son's life. His evidence has led to successful prosecutions against high-profile dealers such as John Haase and Curtis Warren. The information Grimes provided also led to his son Heath being jailed for five years.[1]

Grimes is now part of a witness protection program. He has survived six assassination attempts and has a £100,000 bounty on his head.[2]

In the book Powder Wars Graham Johnson offers insight into Paul Grimes' life as first criminal and then supergrass.[3]
