Steven Lyons, one of Scotland’s leading gangland figures, has arrived in Spain after losing a bid against his extradition on a series of charges related to organised crime.<\/p>\n
Lyons, 46, was arrested in Bali in March under a European Warrant issued by Spain’s Guardia Civil.<\/p>\n
And last week he lost his bid to block extradition from the Netherlands.<\/p>\n
In a fresh development, the Guardia Civil said Lyons was now also under investigation for “his alleged involvement in a murder in Spain”.<\/p>\n
In a video posted online, Lyons was escorted off a flight from Amsterdam on the runway at Madrid’s Barajas Airport by officers and placed into the back of a police van.<\/p>\n
Spain’s national police force said he was sought in connection with drug trafficking, money laundering and an alleged murder in 2024.<\/p>\n
The crime boss is the head of the Lyons group which has been involved in a bloody feud with the rival Daniel organisation<\/a> for more than 20 years.<\/p>\n It is expected Lyons will appear before a duty judge in Madrid before being taken to a jail in Andalusia.<\/p>\n After his arrest he was initially flown to the Netherlands as Spain does not have an extradition agreement with Indonesia.<\/p>\n Lyons appealed against his extradition but a court in Amsterdam turned down that bid<\/a> last week.<\/p>\n Last year his brother, Eddie Lyons Jr and associate Ross Monaghan were shot dead in a beach-front bar<\/a> in Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol.<\/p>\n Michael Riley, 44, from Liverpool, has been accused by Spanish police<\/a> of the murders.<\/p>\n
