Michael 'Mickey' Francis sentenced to 4 years 6 months.
The man behind a loan sharking enterprise across Manchester which netted hundreds of thousands of pounds has been jailed for 4 and a half years.
Mickey Francis - a former doorman in the city centre - was sentenced today alongside five accomplices for crimes involving loan sharking and cannabis farming.
The judge labelled Francis an 'intimidating figure' during sentencing, while his co-defendants received a range of suspended sentences, community orders and curfews.
