SNS GroupThe mum of a Scots gangland boss has missed court for a second time amid an underground turf war.
Annette Daniel, 63, – the mother of Steven “Bonzo” Daniel – was due to appear in Glasgow Sheriff Court on Wednesday, charged with shoplifting.
Court papers stated that Daniel stole clothes from The White Company in the city centre’s Buchanan Street on October 12, 2023.
Her lawyer, Darran Khorasan, told the trial hearing: “There is a defence motion to adjourn for reasons you [the sheriff] are aware of that has been canvassed in advance.”
There was no opposition to the adjournment from the Crown, and a new trial date was fixed for August.
Daniel was also due to appear at the same court two weeks ago in relation to another shoplifting matter in House of Fraser.
Daniel, of the city’s Robroyston, did not attend amid fears to her safety as her house had recently been torched.
Ross Jenkins, her lawyer in that case, said: “There are professional concerns about Ms Daniel attending court.
“She is on standby to attend should your ladyship wish, but there are issues that you may be aware of.”
The trial for this case was adjourned until July.
