The gang that shot Gary Carey in a Dublin hotel lured him back to Ireland by claiming to have lifted the threat on his life, it has emerged.
Sources have told us that convicted drug dealer Carey, 41, was fooled into returning to Dublin from his Spanish bolthole as part of the plot to kill him.
And this paper has also learned that the gang behind the attack on Carey in the underground car park of the Hilton Hotel in Kilmainham, south central Dublin, on Friday spent weeks planning the murder plot.
