A man who was abducted and tortured as part of a gang feud is believed to have been driving a car containing gas cylinders “destined for the home of associates” of a rival faction.
Aaron Rochford, 22, is also understood to have been ordered to drive the vehicle on the night by associates of paralysed Drogheda crime boss Owen Maguire.
The new information has been revealed in affidavits opened during a recent Criminal Assets Bureau case at the High Court which was granted interim orders over its attempt to seize more than €300,000 in cash and properties from Owen Maguire and his brother Brendan Maguire.
