POLICE IN SPAIN HAVE LAUNCHED A MANHUNT FOR A HIT TEAM THAT SHOT DEAD TWO SCOTTISH ALLIES OF DANIEL KINAHAN OUTSIDE AN IRISH PUB ON THE COSTA DEL SOL IN AN ONGOING FEUD 05:30, 02 Jun

2025Updated 09:00, 02 Jun 2025 Spanish police have initiated a search for a hit squad that assassinated two Scottish associates of mob boss Daniel Kinahan outside an Irish pub on the Costa

del Sol. Underworld sources revealed last night that Eddie Lyons Jnr and Ross Monaghan, gunned down on Saturday evening, were integral members of the gang that collaborated with Kinahan, 47,

on a colossal cocaine shipment intercepted by the Army Ranger Wing off the southern coast nearly two years ago. They allege the gang the men were part of joined forces with the Kinahan

the murder of the two Scottish criminals outside a bar in Fuengirola was not linked to the MV Matthew haul - or the Kinahan cartel itself, reports the Irish Mirror. Article continues below

Instead, they are thought to have been targeted as part of an ongoing feud between Scottish gangs. Underworld insiders allege crime bosses Ross Monaghan and Eddie Lyons Jnr were shot dead

after watching the Champions League final at Monaghan's Pub in Fuengirola. Local reports suggest a masked gunman leapt out of a vehicle at 11.30pm, fired several shots at the entrance

of the pub, hitting one of the men in the chest and the other in the chest and abdomen. The assailant bolted from the scene in a vehicle with an accomplice at the wheel, leaving patrons of

the bar, tourists and expats alike, in a state of horror. Insiders believe the shooting spree is entangled with Scotland's vicious gang wars that have targeted homes and businesses

linked to the notorious Daniel crime family from Glasgow. Monaghan, who fled from Scotland back in 2017, appears as the listed owner of the pub on an internet business directory. Spanish

officials have confirmed that the two Scotsmen were the unfortunate fatalities. Grisly snapshots taken at the site capture a casualty, lifeless on the ground clad in just shorts and a tee,

sprawled beside a blackboard on the pavement outside the Irish watering hole. A spokesperson for the Spanish National Police based in Malaga declared: "Around midnight an incident with

firearms occurred in Fuengirola, specifically at an entertainment venue along the seafront. "Two males died as a result from gunshot wounds. The ­investigation is ongoing and no arrests

have been made so far." Monaghan previously cleared a murder charge for the infamous Glasgow criminal Kevin "Gerbil" Carroll, slain in a hitman-style execution at the Asda

Robroyston parking lot in 2010. He was tried for the killing, but was acquitted in May 2012. He was also cleared of attempting to defeat the ends of justice by disposing of the two guns used

in the shooting and torching the getaway car. In August 2017, Monaghan and Eddie Lyons Jnr were both cleared of being involved in a brutal street attack on three men outside the Campsie bar

in Bishopbriggs. The brutal ambush left one of the victim's ears hanging off. However, the case collapsed after prosecutors withdrew the charges against them following two days of

evidence. Monaghan had also survived a previous murder attempt. In 2017 he was shot by a gunman disguised as a pram pushing dad outside St George's Primary School in Glasgow. In

Fuengirola, witnesses have described their terror during a shooting involving Scottish criminals outside an Irish pub. Article continues below A nervous local reported to Malaga Hoy: "I

thought they were going to me kill me too. "I thought I was hearing fireworks at first but then saw the noise was coming from someone firing a gun." Amidst this turmoil,

there's rising apprehension that the Lyons gang might retaliate fiercely for the killings, possibly in Spain or back home in Scotland.
