More jail time if crook fails to pay
A MAJOR Scottish gangland figure is set to face a hidden assets action which will aim to seize millions of pounds of illicit profits from him.
James “The Don” White could face an increased sentence than the one he is currently serving if the Crown secures a ruling in its favour and he fails to pay up.
The 48-year-old was jailed for nine years and ten months in 2023.
He had admitted directing others in a violent, international drugs gang which had access to a fearsome array of weapons.
White also pled guilty to directing others involved in serious and organised crime between May 2013 and March 2023.
This was said to have happened in Scotland, England, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, France, Russia, the United Arab Emirates and Brazil.
