Ian Sweeney used the EncroChat phone network, offering 'bug sweep' services of cars and homes.

A former trader from Glasgow's famous Barras market who helped criminal gangs evade electronic surveillance has been given a two-year jail sentence.

Prosecutor Margaret Barron told how Sweeney "developed a reputation within criminal circles" of being able to get information on certain individuals, including tracing where they could be found. The court heard examples of some of the exchanges he had on EncroChat which were uncovered by French and Dutch law enforcement authorities.

Thomas Ross KC, defending, said he had a long-held interest in "technology" and was "entirely self-taught".
