He was once charged with murder after killing a man with a single punch in a packed dance hall.
Colin"Big Coalie" Beattie was feared by both criminals and the police alike because of his power and build.
At the height of his powers, the businessman was said to run Partick where he lived and had a variety of interests. "They do not complain much, even following a negative verdict but seem to realistic and philosophical about the outcome. "Most of these skirmishes have been of a less serious nature, although I have been instructed by Beattie at both sheriff and high court level with not unfavourable results."
Beltrami also had the charge reduced from murder to culpable homicide - manslaughter in England - before it went to trial.
