2019 life-sentenced crime boss Gary Cooper seeks High Court challenge against UK government for prison transfer to visit disabled mother.

Crime boss Gary Cooper, who led a £1m/year drugs operation, is seeking a High Court challenge against the UK government for refusing to move him to a prison closer to his disabled mother's home, allowing her to visit him. Cooper was handed a life sentence in 2019 after orchestrating the murder of Ross Ball during a gang "turf war" in Nottinghamshire. His legal challenge aims to address the "infringement of his rights".
