Paisley Cab Co Ltd – owned by gangland-linked Steven Malcolm – and licensing staff at Renfrew-shire Council are at the centre of the probe launched following safety concerns.

A Company run by Scotland’s biggest taxi tycoon is part of a police probe where more than 160 of his cab drivers faced losing their licences.

In a highly unusual move, Malcolm – linked to the Daniel crime clan – was personally ordered to appear in person and turned up flanked by his lawyer and KC. “There is a further investigation by management into the application process and the council staff involved. Every vehicle has to go through a yearly or two-yearly inspection, even if it is new, to check if they are up to the standard the council put in place.”

A resolution had been made for the meeting to take place behind closed doors because “exempt information” might be disclosed.Malcolm and his legal representative declined to comment after the hearing’s conclusion. The accounts show a ‘related undertaking’ owes the firm £6.1m – up from £4.45m the previous year. No further details are given.

Six men were found guilty at the High Court in Glasgow in 2019 of attempted murder and sentenced to a total of 104 years.
