POLICE have identified a "top 20" of criminal gangs

POLICE have identified a "top 20" of criminal gangs who are orchestrating the bulk of drug dealing, human trafficking, prostitution and other organised crime in Scotland.
The gangs not only operate Scotland-wide but have also developed extensive links all over the world. This means they are now able to bring uncut cocaine direct to Scotland, instead of channelling it through the old networks of mainland Europe and London, where it would have been diluted.Police have passed details of 40 of Scotland's international crime lords to Europol, so the organisation can investigate their interests abroad.
They have also identified ten "accountants", criminal bankers used by various gangs to channel the proceeds of crime into seemingly legitimate businesses.
