gangland

A man has admitted murdering another man in Edinburgh in a gangland shooting on Hogmanay 2023.

A man who tried using a metal detector to find a hidden gun has pled guilty to involvement in serious and organised crime in the first case connected to a gangland feud in central Scotland.

Three of Scotland's most high-profile gangland figures who were arrested in Dubai last month have been released.

They also said there was no intelligence to suggest a link with another gangland feud which has led to a wave of violence across Scotland's central belt this year.

Burns was also accused of involvement in a gangland shooting in Bishopbriggs earlier in 2015, but was later acquitted after a judge ruled there was insufficient evidence.
