Gangster Mark Richardson's younger brother 'attacked at Edinburgh Oasis gig'
Edinburgh gangster Mark Richardson's brother was 'attacked by thugs' at an Oasis gig, Edinburgh Live has been told.
Dale Richardson, 37, was reportedly set about by 'several people' after one of the gigs during a historic concert weekend earlier this month.
A group of young men in their early twenties allegedly jumped Richardson who is now 'embarrassed'. A source told Edinburgh Live: "His brother's in jail - but Dale is a quiet guy who coaches football.
"He's not a gangster but I think he's getting himself involved with stuff where he's going to end up badly hurt or worse."
They continued: "The Richardson crew have been terrorised by TMJ for months with very little retaliation. He is embarrassed, especially with everything that's went on."
Associates of caged cocaine kingpin Richardson have been targeted for months in an ongoing turf war with Dubai-based Mr Big Ross McGill and the shadowy TMJ - or Tamo Junto - group of hoods he is believed to control.

A second source claims those behind the attack were 'armed with weapons', although they were not used. It remains unclear what injuries Richardson sustained during the incident.
They added: "Dale got attacked again but as far as I know it was after the gig then he copped it but it wasn't meant to be a serious attack like what Baigrie did to him with a machete."
In November 2021 George 'Dode' Baigrie launched a sinister attack on Dale Richardson in the middle of a Tesco supermarket in Gracemount. Police had warned Baigrie earlier that day there were threats to his safety.
Baigrie then went out armed with a machete and carried out the brutal assault in front of terrified shoppers. He was jailed for 15 years in February 2025.
Dale was again targeted in the ongoing gang war when his home was damaged in May. Images from the time showed blue tarpaulin covering a window on the ground floor as police were called to the address.
The alleged Oasis attack on Dale came before Tamo Junto, the gang behind a series of firebombings and retribution attacks across Edinburgh and Glasgow, allegedly carried out an attack on a private hire firm on Gorgie Road.
Capital Cars caught fire around 3am on Sunday with two men, aged 25 and 26, later arrested and charged.
Tamo Junto later took credit for the incident in a video, saying "Your friends stole from us and we aren't going away. There are a lot more of us than you think."
The video also mocked Dale's Oasis run-in, posting: "Did Dale enjoy Oasis?", with fist and laughing emojis.
A series of shootings and firebombings have rocked Edinburgh since March - understood to have been triggered after an associate of Richardson ripped off McGill in a £500,000 cocaine deal paid for with fake notes.

Biker faces raft of surgeries for broken hip bones after being 'forced off A87 by driver on wrong side of road'
A motorcyclist has relived the moment he plunged off a Highland road onto rocks to avoid a head-on collision on the A87. Gavin Lawrie was riding near Glen Shiel when he says he was met by a black BMW driving on the wrong side of the road. He had a split second to avoid a crash – with his efforts to evade the car sending him off the road. He has been bedbound since the incident and the ordeal compounds what he describes as a 'hellish' year following the death of his 22-year-old daughter six months ago. Mr Lawrie sustained serious injuries in the accident, suffering several fractures that will require extensive surgery to repair. He told The Press and Journal the car had not stopped – but fortunately there were other road users who came to his aid. The incident took place on the A87, near Glen Shiel, at about 4.30pm on Friday and has been reported to police. Mr Lawrie, from Kingussie, said: 'I had to make a split-second decision. He could hit me head-on, or I could put the throttle down, which is what I did. 'I remember being thrown onto the rocks. 'The car didn't stop, but two bikers did and they called the police and ambulance who arrived quickly.' The retired 58-year-old was taken to Broadford Hospital on Skye, where X-rays revealed two broken bones in his hip. He also has a suspected fracture in his right ankle and is now wearing a moon boot. 'I haven't been able to walk since Friday and I'm currently bedbound,' he said. 'I'm awaiting transfer to Raigmore Hospital, where I'll have a CT scan. They may need to pin my hip socket bone.' Mr Lawrie said if he hadn't been wearing protective clothing and a helmet, he'd been told by paramedics they 'would have been sweeping me off the rocks'. Mr Lawrie has faced many recent struggles, including the loss of his daughter, yet he remains a fighter. He said: 'The main thing is I'm still here. 'I've been through hell and back, but I've come to accept that my daughter's gone. 'My faith is strong, and I believe we will meet again. 'I live to tell the story.' Earlier this summer, police began giving tourists arriving in Scotland wristbands telling them to 'drive on the left' after a series of crashes across the country. The wristbands are the latest tool being used by officers in an attempt to reduce collisions. It has been a particular issue in the Highlands and islands in recent years. Police Scotland and the Scottish Ambulance Service have been contacted for a statement regarding the incident.

Emergency services race to crash involving car and motorbike in Edinburgh
Police and ambulance crews were called to Drum Brae Road North after the alarm was raised at around 6pm on Wednesday. Emergency services have raced to a crash involving a car and a motorbike in Edinburgh. Police and ambulance crews were called to Drum Brae Road North after the alarm was raised at around 6pm on Wednesday. The road has been closed in both directions as a result of the collision. In images shared with Edinburgh Live, three police vehicles and four ambulances can be seen in attendance. Paramedics were attending to a male on the ground and were seen escorting the man to an ambulance via stretcher. Officers at the scene were also seen speaking to motorists on the northbound lane while their colleagues directed traffic at either end of the road. A motorbike could be seen badly damaged lying on the pavement of the southbound side of the road. One eye witness said: "There were a lot of people standing looking on, it looked really nasty and I just hope everyone is ok. Traffic was a bit chaotic in the area as its a well used route for people getting onto Queensferry Road. "Police were interviewing people in their cars as well as residents of the street. The motorbike looked in a bad way." The witness said that a white screen had been erected while paramedics tended to the male who was lying on the road. Police Scotland have been asked for comment.

While he has pleaded guilty to burglary and criminal damage, he disputes the cost of the damage. On June 12, he stole a laptop, tablet, iPod and a till tray from Kensington-based Italian deli, La Piccola. During another burglary in Kensington and Chelsea on June 15 he took two natural rock crystal formations and caused £7,775 in damage to the front door. On July 21, he broke into a high street store in Barnes, taking £1,500 of Jellycat toys. Pierre White Jr admitted to four counts of burglary and one count of criminal damage via video link from HMP Wandsworth as he appeared at Isleworth Crown Court. He denied, however, one count of robbery, and is accused of stealing 26 bottles of personal hygiene products from a beauty store in Kensington and Chelsea on May 25 this year, to a value of £1,331. He previously admitted to the burglary at a tattoo shop called Behind Bars in Weston-Super-Mare last year. He was previously jailed for eight weeks in August for stealing socks from a Sainsbury's supermarket. He previously faced backlash following an 11-day stint on Celebrity Big Brother in 2016, with hundreds of complaints to Ofcom.
