A drug kingpin jailed for his part in a huge cocaine and heroin operation has been hit with a four year 'super-Asbo'.
Paul Easdon was back in the dock at the High Court in Glasgow today.
The flash 37-year-old was locked up for six years last October for his major role in a cartel that he boasted was raking in £4m-a-month from selling cocaine alone.
Easdon, of Strathaven, Lanarkshire, had earlier pleaded guilty to a charge of being involved in serious organised crime between April 2018 and February 2023.
He was in the same criminal network as ex-Mr Scotland bodybuilder John Barry McDuff.
The pair had been caught after the law authorities smashed the EncroChat phone network used by scores of gangs.
Easdon had used the nickname "glasgowceltic" to communicate with associates on it.
After Easdon had admitted his guilt, prosecutors had applied for a Serious Crime Prevention Order (SCPO) to be imposed on him.

These are designed to tackle and monitor criminals whenever they are freed from prison.
At a brief hearing today, defence advocate Mark Moir KC said: "Mr Easdon has given instructions that he does not oppose this application."
Lord Renucci - the judge who sentenced Easdon - went on to grant the SCPO.

It will last for a period of four years.
McDuff was jailed for seven years last September after he admitted to the same charge at a separate hearing.
