Jamie Kavanagh's father shot dead in Spain

I marbella, part of the same gang that Jamie Moore was shot while staying at their house,

 

Part of drug gang, professional hit according to the sunday world

 

anyone who as anything to do with boxing it seems should just avoid spain altoghter

 

Spain always seemed so safe, yet the recent headlines suggest otherwise.

 

any book recommendations? one that gives overview on the organised crime in spain

 

He was an integral part of the Kinahan mob. Never likely to die of old age. It's really kicking off over there. Shame that garbage is associated with boxers though.

 

Seconded.

 

Legalise it and drug dealers won't get so touchy.

 

They usually kill because they get sent to jail or their illegal trade is stolen.

 

This.

He wasn't called hatchet for nothing

Surely mack and MGM people are gonna start getting twitchy about there association with the mob.

Telling that dublin still not been rescheduled by matchroom

 

in fairness the sport has always had connections with the not so loveable folk

 

and Jamie more said he dosent no what people are talking about must go round with is eyes shut

 

Reports moore was shot in mistaken identity the target was kavanagh starts to make sence

 

It does indeed. Broadly similar height and build, shaven head etc. in the pitch dark a twitchy gunman could easily confuse a Hatchet with Jamie....also Jamie said he spoke to the gunman...obviously presumably in English...which was all the gunman needed by way of confirmation in his own mind...

 

There's a turf war over drugs going on between the English/Irish and eastern Europeans and Spanish, seems like the English and Irish are coming of second best...
