Sunday World
About this episode

Liverpool gangster Sam Walker became a Tik Tok star after clocking up more than 140 convictions for crime but now he’s visiting Dublin where he claims he has been relieved of 50 diamonds by Irish Gardai.


Walker who live streams videos of his adventures from Sierra Leone to the streets of the capital was arrested during his visit and brought to court on driving offences. Now he claims his personal diamond collection is in the custody of the Gardai.


So who is Walker and how does he represent the increasingly blurred lines between celebrity and gangster? Nicola speaks to Niall Donald about the social media star.
