Tamo Junto UNMASKED

Top tier crime lords in McGill's deadly TMJ gang revealed for first time as turf war ramps up

A "WAR council" of crime lords orchestrating attacks by the Tamo Junto hit squad is today unmasked by the Daily Record.

The top-level gangsters are instructing "Mr Big" Ross McGill's now notorious Tamo Junto (TMJ) gang to target key associates of his cocaine kingpin enemy Mark Richardson.

The five key players orchestrating the violence alongside McGill can now be named as drug gang leader James “The Don” White, 48, his key lieutenant Paul “The Captain” Fleming, 41, convicted gunman Barry Harvey, 36, hitman Sean Orman, 44, and machete murder bid thug George “Dode” Baigrie, 42.

One source told the Record the crew of mobsters are using dirty money, power and influence to keep terrifying turf wars in the country going for as long as they see fit.

They said: "These guys are all really serious players.

"Between them, they have enough contacts and cash to keep the war going until they are ready to stop.

"They're all in the jail but that doesn't matter. They have hundreds of foot soldiers they can call upon to carry out their dirty work and those foot soldiers are in TMJ."

White is believed to have introduced McGill to cocaine cartels in South America after he took over the crime empire of gangster brothers Barry and James Gillespie when the pair vanished in Brazil in 2019.

He was extradited from Brazil to Scotland and jailed in 2023 for directing a violent international drug gang.

His key lieutenant Fleming was also jailed in 2023 after being extradited from Spain.
