Scott risks licence after his early release as he meets up with drug-dealer friend
stay away from Wright as part of his licence but they are being pretty blatant about it.
“They’ve been close pals for years and obviously can’t stay away from each other.”
It’s understood Scott is living in East Calder, Midlothian.
Wright was given a three-year prison term for drug dealing in 2011.
The 33-year-old posted the image of the two men together as his Facebook profile picture earlier this month.
A friend who commented on the picture claimed he and Scott had been locked up together in a young offenders’ unit.
He described Scott as “nuts but a pure gentleman”.
In September 2016, we revealed how heroin baron Scott was enjoying cushy trips out of jail to wash cars at a garage after completing less than a third of his sentence.
The gangster had also served little more than a year when he was moved from Saughton Prison in Edinburgh to Scotland’s softest jail, Castle Huntly near Dundee.
He got his transfer despite failing a drug test in Saughton.
After Scott was sentenced to six years and four months in September 2014, the Crown had hoped to confiscate £90,000 from him under proceeds of crime laws.
He was finally ordered to stump up £38,000 in traceable drug profits.
When Scott got married in 2012, he had a “Who’s Who of Edinburgh criminals” as his Get oUt guests and named the tables at the reception after the jails where he had done time – Shotts, Saughton, Perth and Addiewell.
The top table was called “the High Court”.
Scott was previously jailed for five years and seven months for acting as a getaway driver when fellow gangster Sean “Lugs” McGovern blasted a pub in Edinburgh with a shotgun as a warning to a rival.
The pair’s gang were also targeted in a police operation during which McGovern’s home was bugged and £325,000 worth of heroin and cocaine was seized.
McGovern got 17 years for the gun attack.
Wright was charged with attempted murder over the incident but was not convicted.
The Parole Board for Scotland don’t comment on individual cases but a spokesman said: “The board will take into account a range of information in their assessment of risk when setting licence conditions.
“An offender’s conduct when on licence in the community is supervised by the local authority. “A serious breach of licence conditions can result in the licence being revoked and the offender being returned to custody.”
They’ve been close pals for years and obviously can’t stay away from each other SOURCE
