For many years money has been extorted from builders involved on city building sites all over the World and Glasgow was no exception. A builder paid protection to ensure that his equipment and materials were going to be there in the morning!
This has now been taken a step further by making security firms a legal business with front persons as Managers or Directors. The game is the same as before. Use us to protect your site or there will be nothing there in the morning.
Drug gangs protect their patch, so they may as well expand and be paid for it as well!! This also gives a money laundering outlet to push funds through. Just like opening a taxi service was seen as doing in the past. There also comes the legitimacy of self employment allowing ostentatious showing of wealth and trolling about in fancy motors for the amateurs.#
Real crooks don't do stupid things like that and love the bling brothers crooks who just become targets, leaving the others alone..
