Scots gangsters behind explosive turf war hit with chilling five-word warning after executions & firebomb carnage
Chief Constable Jo Farrell laid down the gauntlet to crime figures hiding in the glitzy desert bolthole NOWHERE TO HIDE Scots gangsters behind explosive turf war hit with chilling five-word warning after executions & firebomb carnage Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SCOTLAND'S top cop has warned Dubai-based hoods linked to Scotland's raging gang wars 'We are coming for you'. Chief Constable Jo Farrell laid down the gauntlet to crime figures hiding in the glitzy desert bolthole. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Chief Constable Jo Farrell issued a warning Credit: PA 6 Dubai-based hood Ross 'Miami' McGill 6 Lyons gang duo Ross Monaghan and Eddie Lyons Jnr were killed in Spain 6 Cops probe the remains of a Range Rover in Campion Road on June 9 She insists the force is working with other crime-fighting agencies to bring suspects home as part of the ongoing probe into organised crime. It comes after months of firebombings, shootings and attempted murder bids in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Dubai-based hood Ross 'Miami' McGill and a group known as Tamu Junto have been targeting associates of Edinburgh kingpin Mark Richardson and the notorious Daniel clan. Cops have arrested 49 people in Scotland under Operation Portaledge but McGill remains out of reach in the UAE. However, Ms Farrell insists criminals operating from foreign lands remain firmly on the policing radar. She said: "We're working closely with the Crown Office and the National Crime Agency (NCA) to see if we can get those people back from those countries. "These aren't fast processes, but we're working with the authorities there and the NCA have individuals in those countries. "That's our link in and we're working very closely with them.' Asked by the BBC when the violence would be brought to an end, she replied: "We've created a lot of momentum and gained a lot of evidence and intelligence. "We can see the temperature dropping in this space." Horror moment Scots gangster Ross Monaghan is shot dead by hitman at Spanish pub as staff & punters flee in terror Ms Farrell also stood firm behind Police Scotland's earlier statements over the murders of Lyons gang duo Ross Monaghan, 43, and Eddie Lyons Jnr, 46. The force previously said their death in Fuengirola, Spain, was not connected to the gang violence here. However, Spanish authorities later contradicted that by saying the suspected gunman was 'an internal member of the rival Daniels gang'. But Ms Farrell insisted the force "wasn't aware" of any evidence the murders were linked to the feud, or had been planned from Scotland. She revealed Scott cops are currently in Spain, supporting the work of the Spanish police. 6 Ross Monaghan, 43, and Eddie Lyons Jnr, 46. 6 Police previously said their death in Fuengirola, Spain, was not connected to the gang violence here We told how suspect Michael Riley, 44, of Houston, Liverpool, is facing extradition processing in England. Cops in Spain issued an international arrest warrant for the suspect who was then nabbed by Merseyside police on June 13 and remanded in custody after being deemed a flight risk. He appeared at the London court via video-link from HMP Wandsworth on Thursday but the hearing was halted due to technical difficulties. Judge John Bristow told him: 'You have not consented to your extradition, so there is going to be a hearing on October 9. As he was being led away, Riley shouted at someone in the public gallery: 'Stop making funny faces. Stop looking at me.' He is accused of gunning down two Lyons gang bosses. We told how the doomed pair were drinking in Monaghan's bar after watching the Champions League final when a masked gunman stormed the boozer in front of horrified holidaymakers and staff. The brazen killings sparked an international manhunt that ended with Riley's arrest at an address in Liverpool two weeks later. We also told how cops in Spain and Scotland have given conflicting information about who is believed to have ordered the hit. Three days after the horror, Police Scotland stated they had "no intelligence" to suggest they were linked to the ongoing gangland turf war here. But Spanish counterparts blamed the Daniel crime clan - bitter rivals of the Lyons - at a press conference in Malaga this week. A source claims a captured mobile phone holds the key to proving the culprits. Insiders allege it has data linking Riley to Daniel hoods. A gangland source said: "A phone in a crime like this is gold-dust to investigators. It appears that Police Scotland were not made aware of this discovery and are out the loop. It's not a good look for them."

Dad who fell overboard on Scots ferry named as wife fears he may never be found
Mark Federspiel, 64, fell overboard on a ferry from Gourock to Dunoon earlier this month. A dad who fell overboard while travelling on a ferry on Father's Day has been named as a US Navy diver, as his wife fears he may never be found. Mark Federspiel went into the water while travelling home from Gourock to Dunoon with his wife Annette, after visiting his 22-year-old daughter Lara on the mainland on June 15. The 64-year-old, who was travelling on the Sound of Shuna, was reported missing at around 1pm, when he didn't return from the toilet. Annette said she raised the alarm just seven minutes later. A major multi-agency search operation was launched, which involved the HM Coastguard helicopter, RNLI lifeboats and nearby vessels, as well as Police Scotland officers, their Dive and Marine Unit and Air Support Unit. Western Ferries suspended their services while the rescue operation was underway - but the search was later stood down at around 4.30pm on Monday, June 16, with nothing found. Nearly two weeks on, Annette says she fears that Mark will never be found, as the circumstances of what happened to him remain a mystery. Sadly the ferry they were travelling on had no cameras along the sides and there were no eyewitnesses. Speaking to STV News, Annette said: "All I know for sure is that I came onto the boat with Mark, but I came off it without him. He has been missing for 12 days now, and the police haven't found a body. 'An oceanographer is now assisting the effort. They are looking at things like the tide and Mark's weight, with the working assumption that he may end up in the area off Helensburgh. But we might never get him back.' It's understood Mark had been receiving treatment for a rare form of leukaemia, with the side effects of the drugs often leaving him unsteady on his feet. Paying tribute in a post on Facebook, Annette wrote: "My lovely husband. My soul mate, my life. We are broken. A gentleman. Kind, talented hero. We love you we miss you. It was a pleasure to be your wife I was a lucky girl." In another post, she added: "I will never stop looking for you." It's understood Mark and Annette had recently returned to her hometown of Dunoon, after spending years in the United States and were looking forward to their retirement in Scotland. As a US Navy diver, Mark had been responsible for disassembling explosives at sea and was nicknamed 'Mark the Shark' because of his speed. Police Scotland said 'exhaustive' water searches had concluded, but inquiries are continuing. Chief inspector James McArthur said: 'Around 1.40pm on Sunday, June 15, 2025, we received a report of a 64-year-old man missing from a ferry travelling between Gourock and Dunoon. 'Police and partner agencies, including the Coastguard attended and extensive searches have been carried out on the water and shorelines. Local officers have been assisted by our Dive and Marine Unit and Air Support Unit. 'The water searches have concluded, however, our enquiries remain ongoing and officers are providing support to his family.' A spokesperson for Western Ferries said they have been co-operating fully with the police and emergency services to assist in understanding the circumstances.
