A flash drugs boss teamed up with a 'surveillance' expert to carry out a massive trafficking operation.
James Paterson, 34, and Ian Sweeney, 51, are now behind bars after a lengthy trial at the High Court in Glasgow. Paterson latterly lived in a flat in the city's upmarket Park district and was able to own Rolex watches, holiday in Dubai as well as afford spending sprees in designer shops.
Sweeney was a former Barras Market street trader who later set up his own counter surveillance firm. His "skills" played a vital role in the crime to aid Paterson.
