Steven 'Bonzo' Daniel's mum dodges court again over safety fears amid gangland turf war
Annette Daniel, 63, was due to appear today in Glasgow Sheriff Court charged with shoplifting.
The mum of Scots gangland boss Steven 'Bonzo' Daniel has dodged court for a second time amid an underground turf war.
Annette Daniel, 63, was due to appear today in Glasgow Sheriff Court charged with shoplifting.
Court papers stated that Daniel stole clothes from The White Company in the city centre's Buchanan Street on October 12 2023.
Her lawyer Darran Khorasani told the trial hearing: "There is a defence motion to adjourn for reasons you [the sheriff] are aware of that has been canvassed in advance."
There was no opposition to the adjournment from the Crown and a new trial date was fixed for August.
Daniel was also due to appear at the same court two weeks ago in relation to another shoplifting matter in House of Fraser.

Daniel, of the city's Robroyston, did not attend amid fears to her safety as her house had recently been torched by mobsters.
Her lawyer for that matter Ross Jenkins said: 'There are professional concerns about Ms Daniel attending court.
'She is on standby to attend should your ladyship wish, but there are issues that you may be aware of.'
The trial for this case was adjourned until July.

Garry Anderson suffered horror injuries after an incident at the Premier Inn Hotel, Kingsway on August 22, 2023. The 62-year-old sadly died two days later on August 24.

The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service announced today that it has lodged a first notice to begin the court process for a discretionary FAI.

Terrified mum who made Turkey teeth celebration 'mistake' stranded for six weeks
"I know I did wrong and I regret being so stupid to have damaged the hotel, but I need to get home to my daughter." A terrified mum has been trapped abroad after making a 'huge mistake' while celebrating boyfriend's new Turkey teeth. Georgia Harrison from Whitworth in Rochdale, was arrested alongside her partner after trying to leave the Lexia Hotel in Antalya on May 7. The couple had spent the night celebrating her boyfriend getting his new Turkey teeth as part of the trip when she says she blacked out and smashed the glass bathroom screen, reports the Manchester Evening News. After leaving the hotel without declaring the damage, she then claims her taxi was chased down and blocked in before police were called, where she was thrown in a Turkish cell and held there for several days with "hundreds of men" Georgia claims they were then hauled into court before a judge and banned from leaving the country until the hotel was paid back the sum of £15,000 - money which she says she cannot afford. She said the embassy suggested instructing a lawyer who has tried to mediate and get the ban lifted, including by offering to pay £3,000 in damages, but six weeks later, is still stuck in the country and unable to leave to go home to her 12-year-old daughter. Her partner is also on a travel ban. "I got drunk and I have somehow smashed the shower screen of the hotel room and damaged the room. [It was the] worst mistake of my life. Anyway it's done, I can't change it but wow am I paying for it," she said. "I have sat here for six weeks and suffered in silence not wanting the world to know my business, but it's getting too much and I am getting nowhere. "I know I did wrong and I regret being so stupid to have damaged the hotel, but I need to get home to my daughter. "I'm sorry I was scared and I just tried to get away from it by trying to leave. Yes it was the wrong thing to do, but I was scared and not thinking straight. Maybe if I didn't, I would be in this mess. I know only I am to blame and my actions are the reason I cannot see my daughter." Over the last seven weeks, Georgia claims she has appeared in court and unknowingly signed an agreement to pay back £15,000 in damages, was originally denied a solicitor, and has also been unable to access her vital medication, which she only had a five-day supply of for her original trip.

Despite attempts at mediation with legal representatives overseas, she says the travel ban has still not been lifted, with the fine looming over her, and she has since tried to flee the country via plane, a ferry and a day trip to Greece. Efforts are now being made to get the travel ban lifted, she said. Georgia explained: "I don't deserve this. I've sat in silence. Seven weeks today I've been here and waited and prayed. I feel nothing is moving and nothing is working. "Spent nearly all of what my family got together being here, then trying to leave, it's all too much. It's the fact I can't help her [my daughter] or tell her when I will be home, and she is crying to me and telling me she misses me. "I have three sisters there so they are keeping her busy and I know she's safe and well, but I am her mum and I should be able to provide for her and love her like I always have. I've never been without her, the five day trip was going to be the longest ever."
