Terror link to Glasgow kidnapping?
ANDREW Ramsay, the Glasgow accountant abducted this month as he walked home with his girlfriend, claimed to have knowledge of a criminal ring with links to terrorist activity.Friends say Ramsay, 51, claimed to have stumbled on a £40m money laundering operation and was in fear of his life. He believed huge sums of cash were being raised by a complex Vat fraud known as carousel trading and voiced concerns of links with Al-Qaeda. A former business colleague and close friend has revealed that Ramsay fled to Belgium but later returned to Scotland. The figures Andy talked about were in excess of £40m, said the friend. He said it was to do with terrorism and mentioned Al-Qaeda. Andrew really believed it; he was paranoid that people were looking for him. The guy was scared. He kept his cards pretty close to his chest but he genuinely believed that he was in serious trouble. He told me he was sitting in a cafe when he saw a man who he thought was following him. It really rattled him. The suggestion of links with terrorism will heighten the mystery surrounding Ramsays abduction. Almost a month after his disappearance, detectives are unable to explain why he was approached by two bogus police officers as he returned home from a pub in Cardonald with his girlfriend. He was handcuffed, escorted to a car and has not been seen since. Posted by: Dan Darling 2006-03-19 |
