THE Irish drug gang did not realise the Portuguese police were on to them for the last six months.

THE sole foreign member of an Irish gang suspected of murdering a Cork drug dealer in Portugal and dumping his body in a fridge has told police he will end up like the deceased if he gives evidence against the other members.

THE bright, joyful colours belie the grisly scene behind apartment C002.

THE Cork drug dealer murdered in Portugal could only be identified by his fingerprints, such was the violence inflicted on him, the local police said yesterday.

Gardaí in Dublin are continuing to question a man as part of an anti-drug trafficking operation mounted following the discovery of the body of an Irishman in the freezer of a Portuguese holiday apartment.
