- George Francis (suspected mobster)
George Francis (1940 - 2003) was a British citizen who was suspected of involvement in organised crime.
Francis owned a mansion in the county of Kent. He worked as a scrap metal dealer.
For years, however, he had been the subject of many Scotland Yard investigations. In 1981, he was involved in a cannabis smuggling operation's investigation. One officer died during the investigation.
In 1983, he was questioned about a robbery of 26 million pounds that occurred at Heathrow. In 1985, he was shot inside a pub he owned. He survived the attack.
Francis was found dead inside his car on May 15 of 2003, in Bermondsey. He had bullet wounds to the head and chest.
