Stephen Jamieson appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court today
Stephen Jamieson has appeared in court in Scotland following his extradition from Dubai.
Jamieson, 42, appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Friday facing gangland activity charges.
He was charged with six offences including directing serious organised crime and involvement in serious organised crime, and four offences concerning the supply of drugs.
The alleged offences date from 2020.
He made no plea and was remanded in custody.
Jamieson will be expected to reappear in the dock within the next eight days.
Jamieson was taken into custody in Dubai in September on the same day as Ross McGill, 31, Steven Larwood, 42, and Steven Lyons, 44.
Steven Lyons, Ross McGill and Steven Larwood were all released in October.

Jamieson’s court appearance comes as Police Scotland continue with Operation Portaledge to tackle gangland violence in Scotland.
The operation was launched in March in response to a series of firebombings and other attacks on people and property in the Edinburgh and Glasgow areas linked to a long running feud between the Lyons and Daniel crime clans.
Ross McGill, who is a former leader of Rangers fan group The Union Bears, launched the feud on the streets of Scotland by ordering his Tamo Junto gang (TMJ) to firebomb and shoot bullets at businesses and homes in Edinburgh and East Lothian linked to Mark Richardson earlier this year.

The bitter spat broke out after cocaine kingpin Richardson’s cronies were paid £500,000 in fake notes in a botched drug deal. The war then spread to Glasgow as McGill targeted the notorious Daniel crime clan over their long-term association with Richardson.
A truce was reported to have been agreed on May 30, but the following day Ross Monaghan and Eddie Lyons were shot dead outside a bar in Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol.
Five Scots were arrested in September in United Arab Emirates in connection with alleged organised crime activity.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said on Friday: “A 42-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with serious organised crime offences across Scotland during 2020.
“He is due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court today, Friday, 19 December, 2025.
“We are grateful for the co-operation and support from the National Crime Agency and law enforcement partners in the United Arab Emirates.”
