Collaboration with Spain to tackle Dublin gangland violence to increase, say gardaí

Gardaí are to increase co-operation with Spanish police in a bid to tackle the escalating gangland violence in Dublin.

Members of the Guardia Civil have already been involved in searches in Dublin as part of operations to fight the bloody feud between the Kinahan and Hutch gangs.

Gardaí have also travelled to Marbella to take part in raids as many of the leading members of both criminal cartels are now based in Spain.
