Terror kingpin Johnny 'Mad Dog' Adair is prime suspect as dodgy cigarettes flood Scotland - The Daily Record: "MOBSTER Johnny 'Mad Dog' Adair can today be exposed as the top target for crime-busters probing a huge cigarette smuggling operation.
Police and Customs believe the convicted terror chief, whose paramilitaries were suspected of 40 murders, is now the Mr Big of a tobacco trafficking gang.
Crooks are doing a roaring trade at street markets across Scotland, selling tonsof cigarettesandrolling tobacco supplied by Chinese black marketeers.
And Customs men and police believe Adair's gang control the trade in Ayrshire, where he settled after his old UDA cronies hounded him out of Belfast.
A source said: 'Adair's name frequently crops up. They're known as Adair's gang.
'He is target number one. 'Given Adair's background in violence, murder and organised crime, some might see fake fags in Ayrshire as a form of semi-retirement. But the money to be made by those controlling the trade is massive.
'It's an attractive proposition to criminals, who risk much heavier sentences if they are caught dealing drugs.'"
