The snail farmer of London, his mafia friends, and a £20m vendetta against the taxman Terry Ball runs elaborate mollusc-based tax avoidance schemes that are costing London councils millions of pounds. Yet when London Centric tracks him down, an even stranger story emerges.

Westminster City Council has so far wound up four snail companies for non payment of business rates. It is now seeking to wind up a further two.
