Footage shows a British gangster speaking from a hell-hole prison cell in the Philippines where he is facing life behind bars accused of running a brutal underworld empire.

Darren Wall, 44, was arrested along with his Filipina wife Khanary Jane Abejo, 23, in a nightclub in Manila last week in the early hours of March 23 after allegedly brandishing a gun and attacking revellers.

He was wrestled to the ground by six cops and reportedly found with six grams of cocaine and a 9mm Beretta pistol before being detained in the New Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa City.

Following the arrest, police claim to have uncovered evidence the Brit from the East End of London was running a brutal gangland racket in the capital, including in the notorious Makati red light district, where he allegedly dealt drugs and attacked victims refusing to pay protection money.

He inflicted a reign of terror with a team of round-the-clock bodyguards protecting him while paying corrupt police to turn a blind eye to kidnapping, extortion, drug dealing, assault, criminal damage and threats kill, alleged victims claim.

Speaking in the video from his cramped cell at the weekend, Darren is surrounded by violent inmates from China, Vietnam and the Philippines. He appears to be holding an injured arm and repeatedly refuses to answer questions. He denies any wrongdoing.

When his wife - who is also in custody - appears off-screen, he says: ‘What’s all this stuff they’re talking about? You’re getting bad information. I haven’t been hurting no one. They attacked me.’

In a video that has since emerged from Wall’s office, he is seen holding two semi-automatic handguns while saying: ‘I’m going looking for them tonight.’

He loads a magazine into the clip and says: ‘What about this little baby? You beauty.’
The alleged gangster then growls: ‘Which one they want?’

Officers are now interviewing other alleged victims and witnesses while preparing the case against Darren before it comes before a court.

Darren could also be deported back to the UK if cops in the Philippines find there are cases pending against him.

Police Colonel Michael Villanueva, District Chief of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG), said Wall is facing a life sentence of 18 years without parole if he is found guilty of drug dealing and possessing a handgun.

He said: 'We conducted a record check and found out that he is facing a fraud charge according to Interpol records. We also have information that he is involved in scamming in other countries.

'We will be coordinating with the Bureau of Immigration regarding his deportation and also we will check his records.'
