Johnny Morrissey’s wife Nicola was renting an office for their ‘dodgy’ vodka company above a bar called Hideout. The Scot was taken to the work space near Marbella in handcuffs after being arrested in bed with her alleged gangster husband in an armed police raid.
Cops told a building manager after finding it locked: “Get here in three minutes or we’ll have to break the door down." Records in Spain show Nicola, CEO of a firm Nero Drinks, which police say was a front to camouflage Johnny’s alleged criminal activities, changed its name after her husband was identified by US authorities in April as a key member of the Kinahan cartel.
The Spanish company was called Nero Drinks Company SL until May when it became Bebidas Espirituales SL - Spiritual Drinks in English. Well-placed sources said Morrissey had been removed from the payroll of UK-based firm Nero Drinks Company Limited after his public ‘outing’ by the Americans.
