Crimelord is the gripping life story of elusive multimillionaire gangster Tam Mc Graw. A notorious criminal kingpin, Mc Graw has risen from extreme poverty in the East End of Glasgow to become one of Scotland’s wealthiest men. When hash started to flood into Scotland from the late 1980s onwards, suspicion centred on Mc Graw, leader of the infamous Barlanark Team. After a two-year surveillance operation, police discovered the drug had been hidden in buses carrying young footballers and deprived Glasgow families on free holidays abroad. It was a scam reminiscent of the movie The Italian Job, only this time Scots kids had been sitting on hash worth over 40 million. Police claimed Mc Graw was the financier and mastermind but in 1998 a jury declared him innocent while other suspects were jailed. As Mc Graw refuses to discuss his life publicly, his remarkable tale is told through friends, fellow crooks and the occasional rival. It is an outrageous, often hilarious, true gangster story.
