A convicted drug trafficker extradited from Dubai has been jailed for six years after investigators uncovered his role in directing a large-scale organized crime operation in Scotland. Stephen ‘Jimmy’ Jamieson, 43, was sentenced at the High Court in Glasgow after pleading guilty to involvement in serious organized crime.
Jamieson was found to have communicated with fellow gang members between March and May 2020, using the encrypted messaging platform EncroChat to coordinate drug supply and financial activity. According to prosecutors, the exchanges revealed discussions around cocaine, heroin and large sums of cash.
