Following extensive enquiries by Police Scotland, Fox was arrested by the Police Service of Northern Ireland in August 2024 in Northern Ireland and brought back to Scotland.
He was charged in connection with directing others in drug dealing, appeared in court and was released on bail.

Detective Inspector Nick Gribben said: “Fox was responsible for bringing fear and misery to local communities in Paisley.
“The information obtained confirmed his direct involvement in organised crime.
“It illustrated he was the one orchestrating widescale drug supply and distribution. He sought to profit from the misery of others. Perhaps he thought he was above the law, this sentence says otherwise.
“The public may not always be aware of the work ongoing in the background to target those involved in serious and organised crime, but it is happening.
“I also want to thank our law enforcement colleagues in Spain, Northern Ireland, the NCA and the team of dedicated officers whose ongoing efforts brought Fox back to face the full consequences of his criminality."
