last week a judge in Madrid had granted a warrant to arrest Ian Donaldson 30-year-old amateur racing driver from Paisley.

Ian Donaldson spent last Saturday night with pals in Glasgow's Karbon club, despite being the subject of an international arrest warrant. "He had a team of pals with him and didn't seem to have a care in the world. "He certainly didn't look like a man who is wanted by the police across Europe. "It's puzzling as to why the police in Scotland haven't arrested him." Donaldson - once cleared of a gangland kidnap - faces drugs and money-laundering charges in Spain. The Spanish authorities have already confiscated eight properties, a Lamborghini supercar and a yacht belonging to him in Tenerife as part of a major operation, which has seen the seizure of £12million of alleged criminal assets. A Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency spokeswoman said: "This is a matter for the Spanish authorities."
