Scottish crime boss Steven Lyons is ordered to be extradited to Spain after a ruling by a court in Amsterdam. Multiple outlets report that Lyons, described as the leader of the “Lyons Crime Family,” appeared for a hearing at Amsterdam District Court where judges rejected a bid to block the extradition. The court’s decision allows Spanish authorities to proceed with charges linked to drug trafficking, money laundering, and violent crime, according to reports from the BBC and Sky News. The Daily Record adds that Lyons had been captured and deported following an arrest in Bali earlier in the year, after which he was brought to the Netherlands for legal proceedings. The Mirror similarly reports that the Amsterdam hearing resulted in Lyons being told he will be sent to Spain imminently. While the coverage focuses on the extradition ruling itself, the sources are consistent that the Netherlands court’s decision is based on Spain’s request and that the case concerns alleged organised criminal activity. The outlets also agree that Lyons pursued efforts to halt the transfer but did not succeed.
