Kinahan goon Johnny Morrissey caged at high-security Spanish jail where cartel bosses were imprisoned

Locked-up Kinahan goon Johnny Morrissey is caged at a high-security Spanish jail where his cartel bosses were once imprisoned.

Alleged gangster Morrissey, an Irish passport holder, was admitted to Alhaurin de la Torre near Malaga following his court appearance last week. He now faces spending up to two years on remand in prison ahead of a potential trial for allegedly helping the cartel launder more than €200million in the past 18 months alone.

Alhaurin de la Torre is where cartel boss Daniel Kinahan, his father Christy, 64, and brother Christopher, 41, were held following their arrests by Spanish cops in May 2010 after a probe into drugs and money laundering. It has also housed the likes of killer Eric “Lucky” Wilson and wife killer Dermot McArdle in the past.
