| Comment | The Easdale brothers.
A pair of total gangland thugs in their younger years. They operate with an all-above-board portfolio these days, but it was all built from dodgy deals, laundered cash from fuck knows where and a trail of violence. Over the years they've managed to force most of their competitors to sell their businesses over to them. It all looks legit on paper, but all the classic telltale hallmarks surround the deals, such as burnt out vehicles and depots, buses getting attacked on-route, intimidation, etc. You could probably say the business deals all came as a result of 'an offer that couldn't be refused'.
Their portfolio has ate up a fair number of bus companies and they also own a few private hire taxi firms (surprise, surprise). Their more-to-date legitimate dealings include a share in Rangers and they also own a waterfront industrial estate in Greenock.
They have gotten away with a hell of a lot of dodgy shit, but one of them went to jail a while ago for VAT fraud. |
