About

The Lyons Clan is a Scottish criminal organization known for its violence and involvement in drug trafficking and money laundering. Emerging in Scotland in recent decades, the organization has expanded its operations internationally. The Lyons Clan is newsworthy due to the recent dismantling of its Spanish structure by the Guardia Civil in an operation called 'Armorum'. This operation, conducted in multiple countries, resulted in the arrest of 14 individuals, including S.L., the leader of the organization. The dismantling of the Lyons Clan's Spanish operations highlights the ongoing efforts to combat international organized crime and disrupt their networks. This event is significant as it demonstrates the reach and impact of Scottish organized crime beyond its borders and the collaborative efforts required to address it.
