Scottish criminal Christopher Hughes, who has been sentenced to life in prison for the contract killing of Dutch crime blogger Martin Kok, was rushed to hospital last month after a brutal attack in a Scottish prison, British media reported.

Hughes, 35, was the victim of a serious assault by one or more inmates at Low Moss Prison in East Dunbartonshire, near Glasgow. The Scot was seriously injured in the brutal attack and was rushed to hospital. He was reportedly attacked in the yard. The attack reportedly resulted in a lot of blood being shed.

Insiders say the attack was part of a growing power struggle at Low Moss prison, home to some of Scotland's most notorious criminals. Scottish police are investigating the attack, but no one has been charged or arrested.

Hughes was sentenced to life imprisonment in April 2022 in the court in Glasgow for his involvement in the liquidation of crime blogger Martin Kok (49), on 8 December 2016 at the Boccaccio sex club in Laren. The sentence has a minimum term of 25 years. This means that Hughes can appeal for release in a quarter of a century.

Hughes was with Kok when the crime blogger was shot dead in his car in the parking lot of the sex club by an unknown gunman. He had alerted others to Kok's location and when he was leaving the club.

The Scot was arrested in a hotel in Italy in January 2020. In addition to the murder of Martin Kok, he was also convicted of participating in a criminal organization and involvement in cocaine trafficking, arms trafficking, money laundering and setting up a company that supplies encrypted communication equipment to international criminal organizations. The drug and arms trafficking took place between 2013 and 2020.

THE ITALIAN mafia "took over" a quiet UK town and turned it into the "Surrey Sopranos" before a daring bank raid foiled its plans.

Woking, in northwest Surrey, was a hotbed of crime and mafioso behaviour in the 1970s through the 80s and into the 90s.

Woking out of all places lol, a very good place to lay low though

I can imagine it WAS a nice town for the Sicilians/Italians to live in not that far from London. Now it also has a big Asian/Muslim community.

Same as every town and city in the UK now
