The moment Steven Lyons was detained at Bali Airport has been pictured, after the Scots crime boss was flagged by an Interpol Red Notice. The 45-year-old was stopped after arriving at the Indonesian Island on a flight from Singapore on Saturday, March 28.
Bali Immigration Office pictured the Scot, labelling him a “suspected leader of an international criminal organization”, after he was secured by officers and handed over to police. Images show the ashen-faced gangster, wearing a black t-shirt and green shorts, being escorted through duty free at the airport by officers.
The kingpin, referred to as SL by the immigration office, can also be seen sitting with his head in his hands with police officers nearby. Another image shows a number of officials surrounding Lyons and parading him for the camera while holding a piece of paper.
“SL” was also described as being “suspected of being the mastermind controlling members of his network in operations involving the management of fictitious companies and money laundering”. Bugie Kurniawan, head of the Ngurah Rai Immigration Office, said: “We emphasize that Bali will never be a safe haven for international fugitives.

Scots jail blasted as ‘soft touch’ amid TikTok videos
Prisoners at Scotland’s most violent jails are posting TikTok videos using banned mobile phones to boast about their cushy time.
Shocking images and video clips passed to the Sunday Mail show incarcerated cons at Shotts, Barlinnie and privately run Addiewell jails posting on social media about their life in prison.
They are seen showing off high potency cannabis resin products and smiling from their cells, posing with illegal phones.
Videos and images on TikTok, alongside captions such as “Scottish prison life”, were still viewable as of Thursday.
One inmate shared images of himself holding phones in a jail cell in Glasgow’s tough Barlinnie prison, as well as pictures of dozens of bottles of fizzy juice and snacks such as Mars bars.
A source at the jail, who highlighted the videos, said: “It shows how easy it is to get drugs and phones behind bars.”
