Joey Pyle: Notorious - The Changing Face of Organised Crime

Product Information

Joe Nesline, a Washington gambling king pin and one of a number of Americans who crossed over to London to get involved in the casinos, asked Pyle and Nash to protect the Colony Club, a casino in Mayfair he'd put money into, whose host was the actor George Raft. After the family move to Carshalton, he trained there, and reached the quarter-finals of the All England Championships.

Pyle was charged with being an accessory after the fact in murder for his involvement in paying off Lenny Osborne, a friend of the actor and hired muscle John Bindon, after the fatal stabbing of a police informer named John Darke on 20 November 1978 at the Ranelagh Yacht Club in Fulham. He was never charged with being a registered police informer or 'grass' because, unfortunately, there are no such charges on the statute.
