The drug gang with Mission Impossible-style WIGS, sports cars and encrypted phones: Heavily-armed cocaine smuggling ring who tortured their victims in reign of terror face jail
A major organised gang involved in drug smuggling, abduction and torture has been smashed following a vast investigation.
The group is thought to have been 'the most sophisticated' encountered by police in Scotland and today the full extent of their criminal empire was exposed.
...Prosecutors revealed their dealings in drugs, firearms, violence and dirty money.
The list of crimes included the horrific abduction and torture of a man over an unpaid cocaine debt.
'Their operation centres on the importation of vast quantities of cocaine.
'Their role is as wholesalers to other organised crime groups. They are at the top of the chain in terms of drugs transactions in Scotland and the UK as a whole.'
The court heard the crew were also involved in 'firearm trafficking' to 'violently enforce their own operation.'
The advocate depute: 'The firepower at the disposal of this crime group is unprecedented in terms of the history of organised crime in Scotland.'
