Exiled UDA leader Johnny Adair is reportedly in the final stages of returning to Northern Ireland.
The loyalist leader was exiled from the Shankill Road area of Belfast by rivals in 2005 and has since been living in Great Britain.
Media reports claim that Adair has been seen in Antrim with his son, Jonathan.
According to one report, he said: "I can confirm that I'm back in Northern Ireland at the moment and am in the final stages of buying a property here.
"When that is completed I intend to return to the Province to set up my own security company."
"I was once jailed for directing terrorism but now I'm directing a successful security company and making loads of money.
"I have 17 people working for me in places like Manchester, Warrington and Scotland.
"I am a legitimate businessman with an accountant and everything."
