Police in Spain have raided a cannabis grow house facility they say was being used by the Spanish-based drugs gang that has been led by Dubliner John Gilligan since 2019.
The raids of several properties in southern Spain and the arrest of four suspects come as Gilligan remains on bail having been arrested last October during the first major operation into his gang since he re-established himself in the drugs trade there.
The Spanish police and the Garda have found evidence that Gilligan and his associates have sold loaded firearms to criminals in Ireland, and successfully smuggled them into the Republic. They have also sold cannabis to people in Britain and Ireland by delivering drugs to them via parcel mail.
On Wednesday, four arrests were made in the towns of Torrevieja, Pilar de la Horadada and San Miguel de Salinas, in the Alicante region.
Four houses were searched, one of which had been converted to grow cannabis crops. Spanish offices said they also discovered and seized documents and mobile telephones.
