The apartment block in Nieuw Sloten, on the outskirts of Amsterdam, where Stevenson bolted in the summer of 2006. He and his wife Caroline lived in a flat, detached from the main block, on the bottom right.

Stevenson leaving Hamilton Sheriff Court in November 2005 after admitting a breach of the peace charge linked to his brawl with Robert ‘Birdman’ O’Hara in Shotts Prison. Until his conviction, this was the only contemporary picture of the gang leader.

Some of the fifty-five luxury watches that Stevenson had paid £307,087 for between 2003 and 2006. They included a Rolex Daytona worth £10,340 and a £30,000 Audemars Piguet.

Stevenson’s wife, Caroline, leaves the High Court in Glasgow after an Operation Folklore hearing in February 2007.

Carbin’s partner, Karen Maxwell, leaves the court after the same hearing. The charges against both women would later be dropped as part of the deal struck with the Crown.

Jamie Stevenson was jailed for twelve years and nine months in April 2007 after being arrested in the Operation Folklore raids and admitting laundering more than £1 million of drugs money.

At the same time, Stevenson’s stepson Gerry Carbin Jnr was jailed for a total of eleven years and nine months. His three sentences will run concurrently with the longest being five years and six months.

Derek Ogg, QC acted for Stevenson as his client reached agreement with the Crown to admit money laundering in return for the drugs charges against him disappearing.

Carbin’s QC, Paul McBride, struck the deal that led to trafficking charges against his client being dropped at the High Court in Glasgow.
