Gardaí probe identity of man arrested in Spain

GARDAÍ conducted inquiries yesterday into the identity of a man, thought to be Irish, arrested by Spanish police investigating the murder of Dublin gangster Paddy Doyle in the Costa del Sol on Monday.

The man was one of seven people arrested on Tuesday by a Spanish organised crime unit after they seized 115kgs of cocaine, worth an estimated €5.5 million.

The haul and arrests were made in Cancelada, near the resort town of Estepona, close to where Doyle was shot dead.
