James Stevenson grew up in the Red Road flats in Glasgow and made a his way to the top of the criminal underworld in the city becoming an unternational drug trafficker.
Jamie Stevenson stood in the dock at the High Court in Glasgow in April 2007, awaiting sentencing for his role in a £1million money-laundering operation. It was likely the first time his name became widely associated with serious organised crime in Scotland.
Seventeen years later, both men would return to court for their involvement in a cocaine smuggling plot, but in 2007, Judge Lord Hodge sentenced Stevenson to 12 years, recognising his high-ranking role in Scotland’s criminal underworld. Following his release, Stevenson was spotted in Bothwell, an affluent area in South Lanarkshire, frequenting a brasserie owned by a close friend linked to convicted brothel-owner Hugh O'Donnell.
While McAughey was never charged in connection with this haul, he was sentenced to eight years in 2017 for another drug offence in France. By this time, Jackson had died under what police described as "non-suspicious circumstances."
