The £10,000 reward for the arrest of Scotland’s most wanted men has been dropped after they were posted missing, presumed dead.

Charity Crimestoppers put up the bounty for the capture of alleged kingpins James and Barry Gillespie – dubbed The Pablo Escobar Brothers.

They are wanted as part of a global probe into money laundering, drug dealing and gun trafficking. Last year we revealed the Gillespies, of Rutherglen, near Glasgow, had allegedly been executed in Brazil following a fall-out with gangsters in the coastal city of Fortaleza.

Crimestoppers has now revealed the rewards – £5000 for each brother – are no longer on offer. A spokesman said they are scrapped “unless renewed at the request of the investigating police force”.
