Gardai were on alert last night after an infamous mob boss escaped a gun attack as he sat in the back of a taxi.
The Irish Mirror has confirmed the criminal known as Mr Flashy ran for his life after the taxi carrying him and a close associate in north Dublin was shot up yesterday afternoon.
Now officers fear the attack will mean a full scale war erupting between Flashy and his enemies in a feud that has already led to one murder. A source said last night: “Things are going to get really bad.” It’s understood the associate who was with Flashy in the taxi in Finglas is the chief suspect for the gun murder and detectives believe the attack was revenge for that killing.
