BBC News - Court told blackmail accused is 'criminal gang leader': "Christopher Joseph Notarantonio, from Avoca Close in west Belfast, appeared before Belfast Magistrates' Court accused of two counts of blackmail.
Police objected to bail, claiming there was a risk the 39-year-old would interfere with witnesses.
He was remanded in custody along with his co-accused, 38-year-old William Barker from Filbert Drive in Dunmurry.
Mr Barker, who was also charged with two counts of blackmail, did not make an application for bail.
A lawyer for Christopher Notarantonio claimed the police had 'absolutely no evidence' linking the accused to the blackmail, and argued that the case against him was circumstantial."
