Police hunting for a notorious drugs baron who has gone on the run from an open prison say he may be in the Edinburgh area. Sean McGovern was reported missing at around 10pm on Sunday, June 11, after absconding from HMP Castle Huntly, near Dundee.Sources claim the 39-year-old was handed a “threat to life notice” - known as an Osman letter - just days before he vanished.
In 2016, McGovern, known as ‘Lugs’, was targeted in a horrifying slashing in Edinburgh city centre while about to return to prison after home leave.Two hitmen set upon him with blades, witnessed by a Record reporter and photographer, before fleeing in a Skoda.
A source said: “Lugs got an Osman about two days before he disappeared. After what happened to him last time, he obviously wasn’t taking any chances.“He’s in Castle Huntly because he’s not far from being released.
To take such a drastic step and risk having his time in jail extended shows he thinks the threat is real.” On Friday, Police Scotland said: “Officers are re-appealing for information on the whereabouts of 39-year-old Sean McGovern, a prisoner who absconded from HMP Castle Huntly.“Sean was reported missing to police around 10pm on Sunday, 11 June.
