Couldn't afford to pay the instalments on their advertising board at NDP despite the vodka firm making £300,000 per day over 18 months.

I am always amazed at the stupidity of some criminals - I mean, that pair must have had a truckload of cash already from their years in the laundering business - anyone thinking strategically might say "right, we have had a gid run, time to sit by the pool and stay under the radar".

...............or, you could set up a system where the Spanish think they may have been responsible for laundering another €173,000,000 - which, unsurprisingly has brought them right into the spotlight.

Or maybe they just spent it all on flash cars and watches?

On Thursday, the Civil Guard released footage of the bald-headed Morrisey sat bare-chested in a pair of tropical shorts in a chair as police searched his home.

WTF

Or KFC by the look of it. 
 

It all goes back to the start of this thread. A murder on the streets of Edinburgh where someone who just gets out of jail after spending his adult life there and lives in council flat is handing out five figure sums to maim and murder friends of the leader of a rival organisation. Doesn’t even get questioned or charged for it.

I'm not sure how easy it is to retire from such a business

Yeah, if you are laundering money for drug cartels and you decide to retire you are going to disrupt their business.  Also, they may have laundered hundreds of millions but their own take would be smaller - maybe they needed the money.

Johnny Morrissey is reputedly a hitman/enforcer for the Kinahan's as well as a money guy.  I wonder if he'll end up being charged with any violent crimes.

Aye, thats probably true - continue or die maybe?

I'm sure with millions you could quite easily f**k off to some Peruvian mountain village and live out the rest of your years in peace.

Not if they send Paddington after you. He has Peruvian connections and has already done the Queen in...

Surprised this has went below the radar, Lanarkshire clearly not important enough. Wee DJ Felvus used to go to the Accies games

first post on here and last.

You get deep in power (money), your friends become partners, your  partners become your rivals. No love in money.

Take care folks 

Hmm,  Peru or maybe Thailand.      Sounds like the voice of experience.

I think it's more a case that once you reach a certain level of involvement with these people, they won't simply let you walk away with all the knowledge you have of them and their operation

I heard from someone who should have been in the know that retired IRA, MI6 and assorted crime figures could move to Malta as a kind of sanctuary where you would be left alone, back in the eighties, so long as you didn't get involved again or break local laws. There was a kind of informal truce to protect each other. If it ever existed it probably didn't last very long, especially if gangsters were expected to honour it. Maybe it was just for terrorists and spooks.

Was sent a link to this today.

Much as it was a terrible crime and a tragedy for the family , now that Thomas Cashman has been arrested for 9 year old Oliva's murder Facebook is having its say and it does not disappoint.

From the comments it looks like a lot knew about him already, he is a hitman and gets £50k per hit. Facebook knows everything 😎

There are 3,500 comments at the moment and it is scary that we breathe the same air as some of them.

There are also loads of unintentionally hilarious comments, long winded posts with no punctuation and Kylie Sweeney, his girlfriend apparently, gets it big time.

Not sure how to link Facebook from the app but if you have it, it is easy to find.
