Major Scottish gangland figure Steven Lyons arrested in Bali
Steven Lyons was arrested in a global crackdown after a two-year probe uncovered £7 million in laundered money and led to 13 arrests across Scotland and Spain.
- Steven Lyons, head of the Lyons crime clan, was arrested by Bali police at Ngurah Rai International Airport on Saturday after being held on an Interpol red notice issued by Spanish authorities.
- This arrest follows a two-year, multi-country investigation coordinated by Europol targeting the Lyons clan's long-standing, violent feud with the rival Daniel crime group.
- Joint operations in Scotland and Spain on Friday resulted in 13 arrests, while authorities in Turkey seized a villa valued at about €600,000 linked to the network.
- The 13 suspects arrested in Europe are scheduled to appear in court on Monday, while Spanish officials are expected to request Lyons' extradition from Indonesia.
- After being deported from Qatar, Bahrain, and Dubai, Lyons reportedly moved to Bali after running out of options in the Middle East, leaving him with few remaining havens.
