James White, nicknamed 'The Don', was hauled back to Scotland after fleeing to Brazil.
James White was a senior member of the mob branded the "most sophisticated" in Scotland for their dealings in drugs, firearms, serious violence, and dirty money.

He was linked to a £10m cocaine seizure after an HGV was stopped by Border Force officials in Dover in November 2017. White later directed an associate to set up another fake business in Glasgow to help continue trafficking narcotics from abroad.The ruthless gangster targeted Robert Allan over an unpaid £90,000 cocaine debt in 2013.White helped track him down before other gang members held him captive and tortured him for days.
White was further heavily involved in the widespread selling of encrypted devices for criminals to secretly communicate with each other.
