Notorious underworld hitman Ricardo Blanco is back behind bars for attempting to behead a man in a French city. The Glasgow assassin - nicknamed The Mad Spaniard - attacked his victim with a sabre which caused his jaw to split in two, sliced his ear and left him with a 20cm gash from his temple to his neck.
Blanco, 61, is now languishing in prison after being sentenced to 22 years for the attack on his 43-year-old victim who is believed to have been the son of his girlfriend at the time.
