Prosecutors making a proceeds of crime claim have identified assets worth just £118,649 to confiscate.
A gangster from one of Scotland's most prolific organised crime groups made more than £126m from his life of crime, prosecutors have claimed.
At the time the judge said White's crimes involved "a degree of criminality seldom seen by the courts in Scotland" and he would have sentenced him to more than 15 years if not constrained by law. Becoming one of the UK's most wanted men, he was initially caught using a false passport in Italy in 2020, but escaped to South America.
Prosecutor Scott McKenzie said at the time: "James White is a senior member and has been described as being at the 'top table' directly below James and Barry Gillespie."White was linked to a £10m cocaine seizure after an HGV was stopped by Border Force officials in Dover in November 2017. The hearing was told White was aware of cars and premises being used to hide firearms - including sub-machine guns, Glock pistols and silencers - and dirty money.
