Massive security operation as suspects led into court

THE first suspect to arrive in court in Spain yesterday as part of the investigation into the Kinahan gang was a Spanish-looking woman driven to court in a marked police car and escorted into the building in handcuffs.

She spent four-and-a-half hours inside before she was taken away in handcuffs by police.

She covered her head with a coat as she was led from court into a marked police car, which drove her away with a police van escort, its siren blazing.
