A collection of artwork seized from notorious Edinburgh gangland boss Mark Richardson has been sold for more than £3,000 in a series of clandestine auctions.
Signed prints by the renowned Scottish artist Peter Howson made up the bulk of the money reclaimed by the Civil Recovery Unit following the cocaine kingpin’s conviction on firearms charges.
Investigators raided property owned by Richardson - who was jailed for eight years and nine months in 2018 - amid claims 12 pieces and one silver watch had been purchased with ill-gotten gains.
