Gangland violence 'out of control' John Swinney is told
The First Minister was challenged about justice policy following the killing of two Scottish drug gang leaders in Spain. Eddie Lyons jnr and Ross Mnaghan were shot dead at a bar in Fuengirola last Saturday night. READ NEXT: Glasgow's drug consumption centre is working says health secretary At First Minister's Questions, Conservative leader, Russell Findlay, said gangs have been allowed to operate as 'the Scottish Parliament has failed to tackle organised Crime' He branded the gang leaders parasites and cowards and highlighted policing and sentencing policy that he claimed led to a failure to tackle the problem. Findlay said: 'Two Scottish drug dealers have now been shot dead in Spain.' Referring to the ongoing, decades long, feud between the rival Daniel and Lyons gangs in Glasgow, he said: 'Their gang has waged a turf war on Scotland's streets since the dawn of devolution. 'And this has mutated to include proxy groups, including the US US-sanctioned Kinahan cartel. 'These parasites grow rich by preying on societies most vulnerable, these cowards cause terror and death with guns, knives and firebombs. 'These thugs go after journalists, politicians, businessmen, police and prison officers. 'Organised Crime is out of control and communities are living in fear.' READ NEXT: 'Don't blame us': Taxis hit back in Glasgow city centre transport row Findlay said police numbers have been cut by almost 1000, Under 25 sentencing guidelines are part of the problem and proceeds of crime law failed to recover the rtrue wealth drug dealers accumulate. He said police say 'Organised crime groups' are 'coercing young and vulnerable people to carry out some of these crimes because they are under reduced risk of imprisonment.' On Proceeds of crime, he added: 'According to the Crown Office, one drug dealer made £126m but they can only find £118,000 of assets' and called for a review. The First Minister said the government and justice authorities were tackling organised crime, which he said was 'intolerable' and 'unacceptable'. He said he did not agree it was 'out of control' and said , 'Tt requires the forensic attention of our police and criminal justice authorities to tackle it and that is being undertaken within Scotland on a relentless basis.' Swinney said there were 'flaws' with Findlay's arguments. He said: 'There are a high number of organised crime participants who are currently incarcerated for a very long time in the jails of Scotland, contributing to the significant congestion that is in our prison system just now.' On sentencing, he said he could not allow the remarks to stand. He said:' It is misleading to say to the public there are no consequences for criminal activity under the age of 25. 'There are very serious consequences which involve imprisonment.' He added: 'Scottish Crime Campus is viewed across the world as one of the most innovative and successful measures of bringing together all of the intelligence gathering in one place. And he said: 'It has to be acknowledged that the criminal justice authorities have been successful in apprehending, imprisoning, interrupting and disrupting organised crime in this country. 'That will be sustained in the years to come.'

Madeleine McCann cops calling off search will spend weeks poring over samples after digging under ‘Brueckner tent' site
COPS in the Madeleine McCann search will spend weeks poring over samples they have collected for any shred of evidence after it is called off. Teams have spent three days scanning and digging scrubland near where Maddie disappeared - and paid particular attention to a farmhouse - but are expected to wind up this afternoon. 4 4 4 4 A group of officers today returned to the derelict farmhouse scouted on day one of the operation - and donned gloves to carry out a close fingertip search. They have also dug a trench at the site - where 2007 satellite images showed what appeared to be a white tent. Prime suspect Christian Brueckner is known to have wild-camped in the hippy hangout area around the time of Maddie's disappearance. Investigators were seen carting away soil and other material, and will now spend weeks analysing this for anything linking Brueckner to Maddie. The search was scheduled to last three days from Tuesday with an option to extend if anything of interest was unearthed. A source close to the investigation told The Sun on Thursday morning: 'There are currently no plans to extend and if the situation remains the same the search will end this evening. 'It's very disappointing but nothing taken away from the search area so far has provided any clues.' Investigators are in a race against time to turn up evidence pinning Maddie's case to Brueckner - who they are convinced killed the tot - before he flees Germany. They have zeroed in on an area of scrubland - which prolific thief Brueckner scuttled around as his "rat-run" in 2007. Plans to scour the wider area were scrapped last night - with cops focusing all their efforts on the abandoned buildings linked to the convicted rapist. Police said they were scouring at least five structures within the 21-square-kilometre search area, where there is a crumbling farmhouse, disused well and derelict barns. Cops arrived armed with a radar scanner which can penetrate 15ft into the ground, hoping to find evidence of her body or any other clues. And on Wednesday a large yellow JCB-type digger rolled up to excavate, with evidence of it digging trenches in some of the crumbling sites. The Sun team on the ground saw the excavator pulling back earth to clear it for the radar, and teams taking away boxes of soil for lab testing. It comes after we revealed key figures in the case were flown back to Germany to give further statements on the claims Brueckner kidnapped and killed the toddler in 2007. The ongoing searches are understood to be linked to these secret meetings, which took place at the start of the year. A police theory is the three-year-old or her pyjamas might have been dumped in trenches near the holiday resort that were dug as part of extensive works at the time. Brueckner is set for release from jail in September after serving a seven-year prison sentence in Germany for a 2005 Praia da Luz rape of an elderly American woman. He has never been formally charged over Madeleine's disappearance and denies any involvement - but German cops are convinced he is guilty. If released, he is expected to flee Germany for a country without an extradition treaty - so even if evidence linking him to Maddie emerges in the future, it may be impossible to bring him to justice. 3rd Jun 2025, 08:29 By Annabel Bate First pics of new search revealed
