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. 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.
We have established the gang sourced the Audi car used in the attack even before Carey flew back to Ireland from Spain. Carey, a native of Ballyfermot in south Dublin, had been living in Spain since he escaped a previous attempt on his life in March – and was too afraid to come home.
