The 35-year-old man is considered a key suspect in relation to the discovery of two bodies in Spain, thought to be those of missing Dublin criminals.

Gardaí believe the victims are Shane Coates and Stephen Sugg, leaders of the notorious Westies gang, who disappeared from Alicante, south eastern Spain, in January 2004.
