Spanish National Police from the organised crime group have seized eight luxury houses, a Lamborghini sports car and a yacht from Ian Donaldson.
Amateur racing driver Ian Donaldson's property portfolio on Tenerife includes a £1million clifftop villa. The 30-year-old - once accused of abducting an underworld rival at gunpoint - is being probed along with Ronald O'Dea, 42, and James McDonald, 39. O'Dea and McDonald, of Glasgow, have been arrested as part of Operation Sendero by the Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency and Spain's police. The pair are accused of running a huge drug-smuggling operation and last week had £12million of money and assets seized in Tenerife and on the Spanish mainland. Donaldson, who has a fortified home in Renton, Dunbartonshire, was targeted in the same probe but is not in custody. As well as having his Tenerife properties frozen, he has been hit in Scotland under similar proceeds of crime laws. SCDEA officers confiscated £47,052 of cash from Donaldson and three other men at Glasgow Airport last September. They also took 9320 Moroccan dirhams (£793) and 660 euros (£622). The Crown Office have raised a civil action at Paisley Sheriff Court to keep the cash. Spanish court documents reveal Madrid judge Eloy Velasco Nunez suspects O'Dea has a secret share in some of the homes seized from Donaldson. Assets seized in Spain and Tenerife include bank accounts, a Lamborghini Gallardo and a yacht. Donaldson's four-bedroom clifftop villa is in the exclusive Lajas de Chapin area. All his Tenerife properties were bought in the last two years.
