Shaun Attwood, true crime author/KZbinr Charlie Seiga was one of the most dangerous faces of the criminal underworld. There were many unsolved killings which were swift, brutal and brilliantly organised. The victims-liberty takers and sadists-were all hard b##tards who dealt in the most vicious kind of violence. Many times the police marked him out as the vicious contract killer. He was also one of the most successful villains of his time. Police believed that he was the brains behind major firms involved in robberies on banks, security vans, lorry hijacking, safe breaking and many other serious crimes. He lost track of the times he was arrested and questioned about various jobs, but he always had an alibi-a witness to say he wasn't guilty of the crime. He was the Houdini of the criminal underworld. His story is a shocking tale of violence and crime; but it is also a story about one man's fight against the scum who break his deadly code of honour. He hates women beaters and child m##sters. His presence was a constant challenge to the low life that preyed on those who could not defend themselves. It is an incredible autobiography of one of the most notorious figures in the history of British crime.

[@AskMenFeed]

Charlie is a proper charismatic guy, his intensity and passion are refreshing

[@carmenboddis8703]

Charlie Seiga, whom I have known since our days in the same neighborhood, has always been a supportive and reliable friend. His recent appearance on the talk show showcased his exceptional storytelling skills and ability to convey complex ideas in a clear and engaging manner. In addition to his admirable values, Charlie's true gentlemanly nature shines through in his willingness to help others in need, especially when they are facing threats or challenges. As a busy businesswoman constantly juggling various responsibilities, I have always felt safe and supported in Charlie's presence. Well done Charlie From your good friend Carmen

It’s as important as currupt shit we gonna see from Hollyweird,&FEDS,CIA,FBI involvement. Rogan had an author abwt MKultra. Folk think only USA dabble in this. As we all knw🇬🇧 🇺🇸 in each others pockets.ffss even to point of salted caramel everything & comedy clubs..be great if u cud touch on this and COS & Foster care & National Curriculum ie teaching nursery kids despicable things that parents are not told. Richard Vobes who iv followed for time shared this & he been on front line with Convid 1984. After this nursery shit threw towel in. I’m sure parents will be fumed to know but they not told . Can you pls draw some light to this as we knw this pdf is cyclical 3/10 dnt offend. But now it’s not even an offence to do these horrific things . Mine are up and running.

[@shaunattwoodOFFICIAL]

filming soon

[@job2447]

Good luck to him, he lived through a golden era of crime in Liverpool, he did get involved, but he was just another one, nowhere near the top of the tree in our city 🤷

[@spookybaba]

Nobody I know circa his age from L1 and surrounding areas have heard of him.

[@job2447]

@spookybaba He's from Huyton, Knowsly, L36. L1 is shopping centre in the city centre, L5 is the area he's talking about Scotland Rd/Vauxhall Rd/Dock Rd, the heart of the city, also the slums back then, later knocked down and now like ghost towns, as people where moved out to the new build areas like Huyton, Kirkby etc, Charlie did have a nice house and a small business and a nice car in mid life 🤷 Him and his mate Arfur, who you might of heard of Arfur Liverpool. 😁 (half of Liverpool) He's more known for the silly situation that arose to the writing of his book "killer", which if your not from our ends you'll probably enjoy, it happened, it's a bigger story than what you've heard here and it does involve names you still hear spoken of today on true crime KZbin, all the people he's talked about here are dead and can't be recanted, big the bigger story is all in the public domain in a different era, too much to go into, Google it, it was a big court case 🤷

[@John-eo4zm]

Really strange how gangster George Bromley was shot dead in Charlie’s kitchen by a gunman who was able to just walk in and out…

[@gaberaddo7664]

Hehe, I'll make time to watch this as I'll enjoy this one! He probably tell you about blowing safes with some putty bang in the lock and yeah done a lot with brother I think but yeah I think even tho Charlie did what he did to live well he still had a moral code. I only said that cos it's in the public domain anyway as he's done a programme on it but there other stuff I'll listen...

[@freddibnah7446]

He wasn’t kidding about the old farmers, me dad and his two brothers went out to rob a cabbage for tea near Huyton, not even joking a cabbage for their tea that was it. They were on the way out the field with it and the farmer turned up with a shotgun and me uncle ended up with an arse full of rock salt and me nan ended up most of the night picking it out in front of the fire. Hard times I can’t even imagine.

[@Mick-z1n]

Lie

[@job2447]

​@@Mick-z1n Narr Mick he's right they did, Huyton was like Wales back in the day 😮 loads of fields and farmland on the edges of Liverpool which ended in West Derby 😁 so there was a lot of farmers and game keepers shooting you up the arse with rocksalt😮 for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, it was standard 😂

[@danlomas6886]

I’ve read about Charlie, and have always thought and heard he’s a rum character, but he’s the same age as my dad, who was very characterful, they forget what they are saying etc, and if you listen to Charlie the dates and the age don’t match, and I think he tells more lies than Tom Pepper, but it’s very entertaining.

[@spookybaba]

And where's he from? What area of Liverpool did he grow up?

[@jupaol123]

Soo the "Young" Copper on the bike that let you out of the handcuffs on the drainpipe 2-3 years later was a retired Copper that worked at a petrol station? Alongside the other 30+ inconsistencies..
