Moment alleged Scots crime boss Steven Lyons paraded by authorities after Bali arrest

This is the moment alleged Scottish crime boss Steven Lyons was paraded by the authorities in Bali after being arrested on an Interpol Red Notice.

The 45-year-old, said to be the head of the Lyons crime gang, was arrested on the Indonesian island after touching down from Singapore.

The Bali authorities, who referred to him as "SL" said: "SL is suspected of being the leader of an international criminal organization.

"He is suspected of being the mastermind controlling members of his network in operations involving the management of fictitious companies and money laundering."

He was apprehended by officers at the Immigration Checkpoint at I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport.

Details were released by the Ngurah Rai Immigration Office, which said it had "once again demonstrated its commitment to safeguarding the nation's borders."

It added: "He was apprehended during immigration checks upon arrival in Bali from a Singapore-Denpasar flight after the system detected him as the subject of an Interpol Red Notice."

Responding to this arrest, the Head of the Ngurah Rai Immigration Office, Bugie Kurniawan, issued a warning to transnational crime syndicates and said: "We emphasize that Bali will never be a safe haven for international fugitives.

"The successful arrest of SL is clear evidence of the sharp instincts and extensive experience of our officers and landing officers at the Ngurah Rai Airport Terminal 1.

"Our systems are well-integrated, and our officers are highly experienced in detecting and apprehending Interpol fugitives."

The authority added: "The success of this interception demonstrates that the early warning system and solid coordination between Immigration and the international law enforcement network are very effective, ensuring that fugitives convicted of serious crimes will not be able to freely enter Indonesian territory."

The Head of the Bali Regional Office of the Directorate General of Immigration, Felucia Sengky Ratna, expressed her appreciation and emphasized the integrity of surveillance at Bali's entry points.

She said: "We highly commend the performance of the Ngurah Rai Immigration Office in apprehending this international fugitive.

"This success demonstrates that the immigration surveillance system in Bali is effective, integrated, and responsive to transnational threats."

Felucia Sengky emphasized that all work units under the Bali Regional Immigration Office will continue to strengthen coordination, increase vigilance, and optimize the use of technology and international cooperation.

The body said: "Bali must remain a safe, orderly region, and provide no space for lawbreakers, including international fugitives.

"After successfully securing him in the international arrivals area, Ngurah Rai Immigration immediately handed over SL to the I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport Resort Police (Polres).

"This handover was carried out for further legal handling in accordance with procedures for surrendering international fugitives.

"The arrest of this British citizen demonstrates the multi-layered and stringent immigration controls at Bali's entry points.

"Ngurah Rai Immigration will continue to actively coordinate with Interpol and other relevant agencies to maintain national security and order from the threat of transnational crime."
