The desperate scheme is revealed in a new book Hoods, by local author Carl Fellstrom.
The book is the result of a five-year investigation into Gunn's so-called Bestwood Cartel and other organised gangs.
Hoods also claims:
Gunn tipped off police about rival drug or cigarette smugglers to eliminate competition
He made an impostor complete his community service after being found guilty of assault
Police have yet to capture the county's 'Mr Big' – a millionaire businessman one step ahead of the law
The family of murdered John and Joan Stirland are suing Notts Police for failing in their duty of care towards the couple.

“Well, an interesting little debate being conducted by the feral social underclass that marks out Britain as the scum of Europe. Rerthpect Innit. All tracksuits, cheap gold and £2k Jags. I have no sympathy for the Stirlands. The press have painted them as innocents, as it is convenient, but they were as bad as their son and had full knowledge of his criminal ways. They are no loss to society, and it is ironic that a crime syndicate fell like a house of cards because some two bit criminal ordered the execution of another two bit criminal's complicit parents and the investigation was actually centred initially on police failures which then unearthed bent coppers as a bonus. Had the old dragon not been bigging herself up whilst wobbling her bingo wings in Gala, chances are she would not have got slotted. What is evident though is that both the Gunns and the jailed donut maker bad boy have parents supportive of, and complicit in their criminal careers. Note, that like all hovel dwellers, they never accept any responsibility for creating the monsters they have and their criminal murderous ways. Lots of people have been hurt, shot, beaten, maimed, berieved, jailed etc and the only innocents in this whole sorry saga are the Bates family - who by the way have not ordered an execution party to kill those behind it, although who could blame them if they did? The Gunns are now banged up with a large number of psycho's and dangerous lunatics in the County's worst nick. In there are others who "ran" sink estates, and who are also so accomplished that they now share a landing with Al Queda terrorists who are not scared of them one bit. I'd give anything to be jailer at that nick for a day.
So, hovel dwellers, you carry on your cheerleading and sharing your fond memories, and hoping for the return of the good old days, because the little monsters who are now turning upon you and robbing, stealing and beating you all aspire to be just like your good old mates, the Gunns. You should be helping these fine young men, not complaining about them. You reap what you sow, and please, next time you tuck your kids into bed, imagine them with a gunshot wound, or sat by their hosptial bed in intensive care, or crying at their graveside, because unless you set an example, then your kids will look to others to set an example, and if they look to the likes of the Gunns, then you stand a good chance of outliving your own offspring.
