David Lyons, 74, sentenced in 2023 for laundering £1.7M, has only £129K recovered as of Jan. 26, 2026.
David Lyons, 74, a former lawyer, was sentenced in January 2023 to seven years in prison for money laundering and fraud after a nine-week trial in Glasgow.
He and four associates used their law firm, Robertson & Ross in Paisley, to launder over £1.7 million through four major transactions between 2015 and 2016, including stolen cheques, a fake property deal, and funds from a hacked bank account.
The case, uncovered by a Law Society investigation, led to convictions under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and charges related to serious organized crime.
On January 26, 2026, a hearing in Edinburgh confirmed that only £129,180 of the illicit funds have been recovered, with prosecutors reserving the right to pursue additional assets.
