Five men are behind bars for money laundering which included the bank account of a football club owner being hacked.
Former lawyers Iain Robertson, 69, David Lyons, 71, and Alistair Blackwood, 68, along with Mohammed Aziz, 61, and Robert Ferguson, 67, were convicted following a trial at the High Court in Glasgow. A total of almost £1.5m of dirty money was funnelled through the client account of Robertson's law firm in Paisley, Renfrewshire to make it look legitimate.
Prosecutors said Lyons and Aziz had closer links to those behind the large-scale crime with Blackwood and Ferguson also playing vital roles. All five had denied being involved with Robertson insisting he had been duped and that his firm had targeted by criminals.
