A drugs gang who plotted to ship deliveries of cocaine to Scotland armed themselves with hand grenades and planned to recruit "lads who blow heads off".
Graham Minards, 37, used a network of criminal contacts in Colombia, Brazil and Dubai while he and associates imported tens of millions of pounds of heroin and cocaine into the UK.
He planned to transport 50kg of cocaine from London to Glasgow and organised a "fleet of vehicles" to move the drugs.
