China shuts 'secret police station' in Glasgow restaurant after lengthy probe

It was revealed last year that the Scottish Government and Police Scotland were aware of a secret Chinese outpost operating out of the Loon Fung restaurant on Sauchiehall Street and were taking the matter "extremely seriously."
