A drug dealer who made more than £10million has yet to hand over just £1 to settle a proceeds of crime action.

Mark Quinn, who is serving a seven-year jail sentence, was told to stump up the tiny sum in November last year – and was given six months to pay.

The High Court in Edinburgh decided that despite making £10,158,678 from his involvement in the narcotics trade, he had only £1 in available assets.

Scottish Conservative justice spokesman Russell Findlay said: ‘It is sickening that a drug dealer who amassed £10million from inflicting misery and death across Scotland should only have to hand over a single pound coin of his dirty fortune.
