Prosecutors are after Glasgow gangland figure over flouting order

Convicted drug trafficker Fergus Smith had been hit with a 'super-Asbo' in 2019 following being jailed for money laundering in 2019.
One rule of the strict order - designed to tackle and restrict criminals on their release from prison - was that the now 43 year-old had to declare any income of £10,000 or above.
But, during a probe into his finances, it emerged Smith had £16,486 sitting in his Paddy Power account.
In total, Smith - a reported associate of the notorious Daniel crime clan - had £55,000 of "income from various sources" that he had kept quiet about.
Smith was jailed for 13 months in February after he pleaded guilty to breaching the Serious Crime Prevention Order (SCPO) and possessing criminal property.
Smith appeared back in the dock today at Glasgow Sheriff Court for a confiscation hearing.
He was handed a statement of information by a police officer which stated that the Crown are seeking £326,000 from him.
Smith was also ordered to present to the court of any finances which he has currently available to him.
The matter has been adjourned until August for this to be done.

Smith was previously locked up for 10 months after being caught with £15,000 of dirty money at his then home in the city's Bridgeton.
A three-year SCPO was then imposed on him in October 2019.
Smith had to inform the police with 48 hours of any sources of income from work, benefits or rental of any properties.
He assured the authorities that he would notify of any changes.
A probe was sparked, however, when it emerged Smith had a purchase agreement on a sporty Audi S3 car in June 2020.
A check revealed he had no self-declared income.
A warrant was then sought to investigate Smith's bank transactions between late 2019 and October 2021.
Fiscal Darren Harty said: "The statement showed that Smith had outgoings of £70,831 and an income from various sources totalling £55,000 none of which was notified to police.
"A total of £16,486 was received from the account of Paddy Power.
"This was from 50 deposits from the Paddy Power account ranging from £62.50 to £1,320.85."
There statement also revealed a near £4,000 payment from car dealer Arnold Clark, seven amounts totalling £10,300 from an accident repair firm called 'Raltec Paisley' as well as £25,000 in cash deposits via the Post Office.
Smith, of the city's Mount Vernon, was arrested in December 2021 and replied 'no" to each accusation put to him.
Thomas Ross KC, defending, told a previous hearing: 'He was well aware that with the terms of the order it would be open for the police to gain access to his Santander bank account to see if he complied.
'In a way, it was inevitable that he would be caught with the money from his employment.
'In terms of the other charge, I wasn't in a position to explain anything with a substantial defence.
'It was in his bank account and it was through that police found out about the offences and he was prosecuted.
'He had been doing a course working on railways when the network is down at two and three in the morning and access is gained by ropes.
'He did this work in January and February when drug dealers would be in their beds - if he has money from illegal means he would not be out cleaning the railways.'

In 2008, Smith was one of 17 members of a gang given sentences totalling more than 100 years at Liverpool Crown Court for planning to flood Scotland with cocaine.
He is also said to be an associate of shamed ex-soldier Martyn Fitzsimmons - locked up in 2018 for his links to organised crime.
Smith was a former friend of Daniel clan enforcer Kevin 'Gerbil' Carroll, who was shot dead in an Asda car park in Robroyston, Glasgow, in 2010.

Trump posts on social media calling for a special prosecutor to investigate the 2020 election

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Friday posted on social media a call for a special prosecutor to investigate the 2020 election, which he lost to former President Joe Biden more than four years ago. Despite a flurry of lawsuits from the Trump campaign in the wake of his 2020 election loss, no evidence has emerged of any mass voter fraud schemes that had any impact on the election. Trump, on his Truth Social platform, falsely claimed that he won the 2020 election in "LANDSLIDE!" and that the election "was a total FRAUD!" "A Special Prosecutor must be appointed," Trump wrote. "This cannot be allowed to happen again in the United States of America! Let the work begin!" A Justice Department spokesperson declined to comment on Trump's call for a special prosecutor. Trump told NBC News' "Meet the Press" in a December 2024 interview that he wouldn't direct the Justice Department to look back at the 2020 election, despite his repeated false assertions that it was marred by fraud. "To the people who say that you're now directing your Justice Department to investigate 2020 and they want to move on — is that a good use of precious resources? Is that what you want them to do?" moderator Kristen Welker asked Trump. "Just so you know, I have the right to do that but I'm not interested in that," Trump replied. He added: "I'm not interested. I have the absolute right. I'm the chief law enforcement officer, you do know that. I'm the president. But I'm not interested in that. You know what I'm interested in? Drilling, and getting prices down, and stopping people from pouring into our border that come from prisons and mental institutions." Earlier in the week, Trump also made reference to FBI Director Kash Patel's boosting of a 2020 election conspiracy based on a single unverified claim from an unidentified FBI confidential human source about the use of fake licenses to vote. Trump himself has faced two separate special counsel investigations: The Robert Mueller investigation during his first term in office and the Jack Smith investigation during Biden's presidency. Smith's investigation resulted in two separate federal criminal cases against Trump. One charged him over his handling of classified documents, while another charged him in connection with his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss in the lead-up to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. In the classified documents case, Trump's legal team argued that Smith's appointment was invalid and that Congress never authorized special counsels. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee who was handling the case, then ruled that Smith's appointment was "unlawful," a decision the Justice Department appealed. The Justice Department dropped its appeal of Cannon's ruling after Trump took office in January. Smith's office dropped the Jan. 6-related case after Trump won the 2024 election last November. "Trump knew that there was no outcome-determinative fraud in the 2020 election, that many of the specific claims that he made were untrue, and that he had lost the election," Smith wrote in his public report. After beginning his second term, Trump quickly granted clemency to roughly 1,500 Jan. 6 defendants on the day of his inauguration, freeing many who had admitted to or been convicted of assaulting members of law enforcement during that attack.

'Scotland's dumbest criminal' set fire to himself while torching cars for gang

Sheriff Tim Niven-Smith also imposed an eight-month supervised release period to protect the public from serious harm once Gibb is freed from jail. A bungling gangland enforcer has been called "Scotland's dumbest criminal" by a sheriff after he set fire to himself while torching cars. Hapless hood Darren Gibb, 33 was jailed for two years after a court was shown footage of him fleeing from the scene with his hand on fire. ‌ Dundee Sheriff Court heard Gibb was acting on the orders of gangland figures to set fire to three vehicles across the city in targeted attacks. Sheriff Tim Niven-Smith also imposed an eight-month supervised release period to protect the public from serious harm once Gibb is freed from jail. ‌ The sheriff said: "He set fire to himself clearly in one of the videos. He's running with one of his hands on fire because the accelerant has gone on himself - Scotland's dumbest criminal. "You pled guilty to three charges of wilful fireraising on three dates. You intended to cause financial harm and inconvenience to the owners of the vehicles. "These acts were pre-meditated. You said you had been asked to set fire to the cars on behalf of another criminal or criminals. You attended in dark clothing and used accelerant and the crimes were pre-planned. Your blameworthiness is high and your case involves multiple victims. "There was the potentiality of serious harm or even death by your actions. Your crimes were committed solely for your financial gain. You were acting as enforcer for a drug dealer. "You were indebted to those who asked you to commit these crimes and you gained financially by having debts written off. You are not of good character generally. "In committing one of the offences you managed to set fire to yourself and were lucky not to sustain a more substantial burn injury." ‌ The court heard Gibb caused £44,300 worth of damage to a Volkswagen Golf, a Toyota Aygo, an Audi A6 and a Mercedes-Benz. Dramatic video footage played to the court showed the ferocious flames that engulfed the cars, which were started with accelerant. ‌ Residents in the Charleston Drive area overheard a loud bang in the early hours of September 19 last year. Prosecutor Stephanie Paterson said: "One of the witnesses looked out the living room window and could see the silver Volkswagen Golf to be on fire. "Two to three males in black were seen to run away. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service attended to extinguished the blaze and deemed it to be wilful." Plastic on the back of the nearby Toyota Aygo was damaged as a result of the fire with scene examiners later discovering the melted remains of a jerry can within a black rucksack. ‌ Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Gormless Gibb also left the key fob to his partner's home at the scene of the crime. On October 24, he struck again after hiring a taxi to an address in Kirkton shortly after 4am. Ms Paterson said: "At around 5.15am, the witness was woken by a loud bang at the front door and observed the silver Audi in the driveway on fire with flames emanating from the wheel arches. ‌ "The words 'let's go Megan' were spray painted on the ground. The court was told that this was a message relating to the daughter of a neighbour. The court heard how Gibb was caught on Ring doorbell footage two days later setting fire to an Audi on the same street. He again used accelerant on the bonnet of the car, before running away in the direction of Old Glamis Road. The desperate owner used a hose to try to put out the flames before fire crews and police descended on the scene. Police arrested Gibb a short distance away and the firebug, who had burn marks on his hand, replied: "I've not done nothing at all." Gibb's clothing smelled of petrol with the court hearing how part of his jacket had been melted. Officers later searched his partner's flat, where nozzles for jerry cans were discovered in a vacuum pack. Gibb, from Dundee, pled guilty to three charges of wilful fireraising on two separate streets in Dundee. Solicitor Mike Short said Gibb "chose to follow instructions" from more serious and organised criminals after mounting up drug debts.

Jazz professor dismissed from role at Royal Conservatoire

Leading Scottish saxophonist Tommy Smith has been sacked as a professor at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Following a disciplinary investigation and hearing by the Glasgow institute, the 58-year-old – who has been a star of jazz since his teens and founded the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra – was dismissed. Mr Smith had held the position of head of jazz at the music school for the last 16 years. The Daily Mail reported that the dismissal is related to allegations of a relationship with a female student who was over the age of 18. It was claimed that Mr Smith was told to stay away from classes at RCS after the allegations came to light. Smith was brought up in the Wester Hailes housing scheme in Edinburgh, was awarded an OBE in 2019, and holds honorary doctorates from Heriot-Watt University and the University of Edinburgh. A spokesperson for the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland said: 'Following a disciplinary investigation and hearing, Tommy Smith has been dismissed. 'RCS has robust policies in place to ensure the safety and wellbeing of students and staff.' Founded in 1847, Scotland's national conservatoire is a global leader in performing arts education, consistently ranked in the top ten of the QS World University Rankings.
