BACK TO FACE JUSTICE!

Jose Rafael Pisani Pardo was born in Caracas and was ‘happy’ having married ‘the love of his life’, Romina Acuna in November in Las Vegas. He was previously married to another woman, with whom he has two children. The fallout of the attack led to the restaurant being graffitied on Monday night. It is not known who daubed the restaurant in red paint, but the words, including ‘asesino’ and ‘mafia irlandes’, were in Spanish.

The gang are accused of smuggling cannabis into Ireland hidden among flip-flops, as well as a variety of firearms charges. But the no-show put the trial on hold as an international arrest warrant was put out for Gilligan, finally being issued in Ireland last week.

However, in a bizarre twist, Gilligan was already taking to the stand in a Dublin courtroom before the warrant arrived. So instead he was quickly detained on a Schengen Information System (SIS) alert at an address in Dublin.

Gilligan told the court he had been intending to return to Spain but had not been able to afford the flights. He has been remanded in custody and will be extradited shortly. His dad John, 71, faces over eight years in jail if convicted of the charges. He served 17 years behind bars in Ireland for running a largescale drug trafficking gang in the nineties, but was acquitted over the murder of Guerin in 1996.
