Scottish 'crime boss' Steven Lyons extradited after Bali arrest
Authorities say he led a transnational network that moved narcotics and laundered money through shell companies across Europe and the Middle East.
- On Wednesday, Indonesian authorities extradited Scottish crime boss Steven Lyons to Spain to face drug trafficking and money laundering charges, flying him from Bali via Amsterdam.
- Spanish authorities issued an Interpol Red Notice, alleging Lyons was the "suspected leader of an international criminal organisation" which used shell corporations across Europe and the Middle East to launder money.
- The arrest resulted from a joint investigation by Indonesian, Spanish, and Scottish authorities, during which police detained his wife, Amanda, at their Dubai apartment on Monday.
- Europol confirmed the seizure of a €600,000 villa and land in Turkey linked to the operation, while two associates of Lyons remain at large on a travel ban list.
- Scrutiny of criminal networks follows the long-standing feud between the Daniel crime clan and the Richardson crime clan, which reignited last year and included violent shootings in 2024.
