Lyons Crime Boss Nabbed in Bali, Drug Trafficking Ring Busted

0:00On March 28th, Stephen Lyons, the boss of one of Scotland's biggest crime families, just got nabbed by Cops and Bolly on a warrant from Spain. This drops right after Scottish and Spanish police hit hard with raids yesterday, scooping up 13 suspects in a two-year hunt for drug, trafficking, money laundering, and organized crime. The National Crime Agency pitched in, targeting spots from Glasgow to Malaga. Lyons had only been out of custody in Dubai for a few months after earlier reports of him getting picked up in Bahrain. He's dodged bullets before, surviving a shooting back in 2006 while his cousin didn't make it. His brother Eddie Jr., and another associate, got gunned down last May in a Spanish beach bar during the Champions League final. The Lyons crew has deep beef with a rival Daniel Gang, stretching over 20 years, plus ties to Ireland's Kanahang Cartel through Dubai and the Costa del Sol. Folks in the know say these links pumped up their cash and reached worldwide.

1:01Police Scotland's playing at close, confirming their teaming with European partners on the Bolly Grab. Rades went down last Friday across places like Garcache, Barcelona, and near Malaga, with eight arrests in Scotland and five in Spain. Liverpool backed it and Turkish cops seized land, a villa worth about 520,000 pounds, plus company shares. Officers grabbed statements from four witnesses there too. This ties into bigger ops like Porto Lig, which has netted over 60 arrests amid last year's fire bombings and shootings around Edinburgh. Cops say it's two years of solid teamwork paying off, sharing intel from the UAE to the Netherlands, and they're still digging deep.
