He is due to be extradited to Spain to face charges.
New video footage has been shared showing crime boss Steven Lyons being escorted through an airport while handcuffed after he was deported from Bali. It follows his arrest on the Indonesian island on March 28 by immigration officers.
The 45-year-old was spotted flanked by Interpol agents from the Jakarta National Central Bureau. Spanish authorities had previously requested an Interpol red notice for him.
The notorious gangster is due to be extradited to Spain to face £26 million money laundering charges, reports the Daily Record.
An ongoing police investigation delayed his return to Europe, but he was flown to Amsterdam on Wednesday, April 8, ahead of being moved to Spain.
Indonesian police have issued footage of Lyons being marched through Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta.
Interpol officers can be seen escorting him off a plane with a travel pillow around his neck while carrying a yellow bag. He appears to be in conversation with the agents.
It then shows him being handed over to Dutch police. Playing over the footage is Flo Rida’s 2007 song Low, a swipe at the gang boss by police in Indonesia, who said there was no safe place for “fugitives” in their country.
A statement from Indonesia’s police force, Divhubinter Polri, said: “Steven Lyons, the subject of an Interpol Red Notice on money laundering, who was arrested in Bali on March 28, 2026, was successfully deported on Wednesday, April 8, 2026.
“The deportation process is carried out with a tight escort by personnel from the Set NCB Interpol Indonesia Divhubinter Police.
“The repatriation route departed from Bali to Jakarta, and then flown to Amsterdam, the Netherlands. In the implementation of this deportation, the Set NCB Interpol Indonesia team coordinated fully with Soekarno-Hatta International Airport Immigration officers to ensure the smooth administration of suspects before leaving the jurisdiction of the Republic of Indonesia.
“Set NCB Interpol Indonesia prioritizes the commitment to eradicate Transnational Crime by arresting international DPO suspects subject to Interpol Red Notice. There is no safe zone in Indonesia for fugitives.”
Lyons is now being held by military police at a secure location in the Dutch capital after being flown in from Bali on Wednesday morning.
It comes after the news Lyons’ wife Amanda was arrested at Dubai Airport after being flagged as a wanted person by Interpol.
The 38-year-old was detained last month as part of the ongoing international investigation to derail the Lyons clan’s drug trafficking network amid the ongoing turf war in Scotland.
Dubai Police have since confirmed she was arrested after systems showed she had an Interpol red notice – a request to law enforcement worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest a person pending extradition, acting as a high-level alert for wanted individuals.
While not an international arrest warrant, a red notice restricts international travel, freezes assets, and causes severe reputation damage.
