Irish mafia on the Costa del Sol put in connection with 20 murders | LISTAndalucia: "The police operation started yesterday, who targets an Irish crime syndicate on the Costa del Sol with branches all over Europe, has linked the group to 20 different murders across Europe.
The operation saw a total of 31 arrests, 17 of them in Estepona, Marbella and Fuengirola. Police forces also intervened property owned by the gangsters worth 150 million euros only on the Costa del Sol. In addition to that comes property in Brazil and elsewhere.
It is believed that the murder of an Irish citizen in Estepona back in 2008 put police forces on the trail of the group. The investigation since was co-ordinated by Europol and saw the co-operation of police forces from several different countries.
Several police sources say this is among the biggest blows to organized crime in the last few years. The criminal gang is thought to be led by a 53-year-old British citizen who was detained yesterday together with his two sons."
