Scots cops insist 'no evidence' Ross Monaghan and Eddie Lyons Jnr shooting set up in Scotland
Malaga-based Spanish police chief Pedro Agudo Novo today described the suspected killer arrested in Liverpool as a member of the Daniel gang. Scots police have insisted there is "no evidence" to suggest the assassination of Ross Monaghan and Eddie Lyons in Spain was set up in Scotland. It comes after Malaga-based Spanish police chief Pedro Agudo Novo today described the suspected killer arrested in Liverpool as a member of the Daniel gang, which has long been at loggerheads with the Lyons gang the dead men belonged to. Merseyside Police confirmed on Friday that Michael Terrence Riley, 44, has been arrested in the UK on suspicion of the Costa del Sol gangland execution of the key Lyons lieutenants. Police Scotland had insisted days after the May 31 double murder they had no information to suggest the horror crimes were in any way linked to the gang feuding which has been going on there. However, Agudo Novo then made the revelation linking the suspect to the Daniel clan today as he spoke at the first press conference Spanish police have held since Monaghan and Lyons Jr were shot dead at Monaghans Irish Bar in Fuengirola after the Champions League final. Mr Agudo Novo, who heads up a provincial Judicial Police unit, said that the hit had been set up by 'a professional killer and member of one of the victims' rival gangs.' He ruled out the idea the shooter was an independent hired killer but an internal member of the rival Daniel gang. The shooting came amid a violent gang war that has ripped through Scotland since March said to have started over a fallout over a stolen stash of cocaine. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

However, following the statement from Agudo Novo, Police Scotland have reiterated their claim that there is no evidence to suggests the deaths were linked to the recent attacks in Scotland. Assistant Chief Constable Stuart Houston said: "We have been assisting Spanish colleagues with their investigation into the fatal shootings in Fuengirola. We are not aware of any current evidence which suggests the deaths of these two men in Spain are linked to the recent criminal attacks in Scotland being investigated as part of Operation Portaledge. "We are aware of the statement from the Spanish Police and although we cannot comment on an ongoing investigation in another jurisdiction, our position remains that we have no current evidence to suggest that this incident was orchestrated from Scotland. "We are aware of the arrest of an individual in the Merseyside area and will continue to support colleagues in Spain where necessary and if required by them." Career criminal Monaghan, who fled Scotland for Spain after a failed attempt on his life outside a Glasgow primary school in 2017, was tried but acquitted over the murder of notorious Glasgow hood Kevin 'Gerbil' Carroll at an Asda car park in 2010. In August 2017 he and Eddie Lyons Jr, both members of the Lyons Glasgow crime family, were cleared of being involved in a brutal street attack on three men outside the Campsie bar in Bishopbriggs, East Dunbartonshire. In a statement released on June 3, Police Scotland made it clear it was not directly investigating the murders. "The investigation into the fatal shootings in Fuengirola is being carried out by Spanish police," it said. " Police Scotland is supporting Spanish police where requested, however at this time we have no officers deployed within Spain.

Man gunned down in Costa Del Sol weeks before Scot gang murders named
The brutal street shooting happened at around 8.15pm on Easter Monday in the popular British holiday resort of Calahonda, between Marbella and Fuengirola in Spain. A man who was gunned down in a gangland execution on the Costa Del Sol weeks before Scots hoods were killed there has been named for the first time. The brutal street shooting happened at around 8.15pm on Easter Monday in the popular British holiday resort of Calahonda, between Marbella and Fuengirola in Spain. The 32-year-old was reportedly shot dead after leaving a football match at the Finca Naundrup complex. Now, the Liverpool ECHO has confirmed the man to be Steven Gray from Merseyside. The gun slaying took place just weeks before Lyons crimelord's Eddie Lyons Jnr and Ross Monaghan were assassinated in Monaghan's pub, owned by Ross Monaghan, in Fuengirola on Saturday, May 31. The brutal double-murder of the Glasgow hoods coupled with the gunning down of Mr Gray has sparked fears of rising gun crime in the Costa Del Sol. The Times reported that there have been eight shootings in two months on the Spanish coast The Liverpool newspaper previously told how Mr Gray was approached after leaving a football match at the sport facility. Locals told police they heard between eight and 10 shots being fired with the incident described as a"gun fight". One local source previously said the victim from Liverpool"fired one shot back". Spanish cops locked down the area following the fatal shooting. Local newspaper Sur reported that a short time later a Seat Cupra, with foreign number plates, was found dumped and set ablaze a short distance from the crime scene. The same newspaper reported that police "found two pistols inside the car, which were allegedly the weapons used in the murder" - and officers were searching for"two hooded killers". Following the shooting, Pedro Fernández, the government delegate in Andalusia, told the press that police officers were "working on inspecting the surrounding cameras to see if they can provide any identification regarding the person who fired these shots". Since the shooting, no information has been released by the police. The investigation is currently being led by the Guardia Civil. The ECHO has approached the Guardia Civil for more information on multiple occasions. A spokesperson for the police force previously said it doesn't release information to the media while an investigation is ongoing. However, the ECHO understands from a source that this is not unusual for Spanish police A source told the ECHO that the shooting is believed to be linked to organised crime. However, they said no one from the expat community has been talking about the incident - and added: "There is a basic problem in the area that the Spanish aren't that bothered about expat violence until they have to be. "Perhaps more prescient [is] that the police authorities in the area are under-resourced." A spokesperson for the Foreign Office previously said it was "supporting the family of a British man who has died in Spain and are in contact with the local authorities". The Costa del Sol - and the police's response to targeting organised crime - has recently come under the spotlight following a spate of shootings. The Times reported that there have been eight shootings in two months on the Spanish coast. According to local reports, a man fired several shots on a Malaga street in early April, injuring four people - including three who were hit by stray bullets. A different person was also shot in the leg following a confrontation between two families just days later - and then on May 31, Lyons Jnr,43 and Monaghan, 46, were shot dead in Fuengirola after watching the Champions League final.

The Record reported on Saturday that Michael Terrance Riley, 44, was arrested by Merseyside Police on Friday evening in connection with the shooting. Riley was detained on an international arrest warrant, which is a request issued by a judicial authority in one country to another to help locate someone for extradition. He appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court for a brief hearing to start the extradition proceedings to Spain. He will next appear before the same court on June 19. The investigation into the deaths of Lyons Jnr and Monaghan, who are linked to a crime group from the west of Scotland, is being led by a Spanish elite anti-drug and organised crime unit. Scottish police insisted in the days after the shooting that there was no information to suggest the shootings were in any way linked to an ongoing gang feud with another crime family. However, Spanish police told a press conference today that the suspected gunman was a member of the rival Daniel crime clan. A senior officer also revealed that the arrest of Riley was made as detectives discovered the alleged gunman was about to flee his UK bolthole for a "paradise island tax haven". The ECHO reports that it is not currently aware of any connection between the deaths of Mr Gray and Lyons Jnr and Monaghan. Southern Spain's Costa del Sol is colloquially referred to as the "Costa del Crime" due to the high number of organised crime groups who use its shores as a centre of operations. The coastal area, which was historically popular due to lax extradition laws, now sees British and Irish gangs battling with cartels from South America and Europe to gain a foothold. The recent shootings has resulted in local politicians asking for more help to tackle the firearms threat. The BBC reported that the mayor of Fuengirola said: "We live in a world and at a time where crime knows no borders" and asked for specialised police officers to be deployed to the area.

Scots cops deny Spanish force claims of ‘Daniel clan link' to Monaghan and Lyons murders
Spanish top brass insist the suspect in the double killing is 'an internal member of the rival Daniels gang' AT ODDS SQUADS Scots cops deny Spanish force claims of 'Daniel clan link' to Monaghan and Lyons murders Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SCOTTISH cops are standing by their assertion the murders of Ross Monaghan and Eddie Lyons Jnr are unconnected to gangland violence here - hours after Spanish investigators said the opposite. Police Scotland issued a statement hours after a press conference in Malaga during which top brass insisted the suspect in the double killing is "an internal member of the rival Daniels gang". Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 The moment caught on CCTV a shooter storms Monaghans bar in Fuengirola. 4 Murdered crime clan duo Eddie Lyons Jnr and Ross Monaghan. The stunning claims made this morning by investigators in Spain appeared to be in direct conflict with an earlier statement by Scots cops that they had 'no intelligence" to indicate the plot was hatched here. The murders of the two Lyons gang kingpins in Monaghan's Bar, Fuengirola, on Saturday, May 31, came after months of gangland violence across Scotland's two biggest cities. The chaos has been blamed by underworld sources on Dubai-based Ross 'Miami' McGill whose group Tamu Junto has claimed responsibility for targeting associates of caged Edinburgh kingpin Mark Richardson, 38, and members of the Daniel crime family. That resulted in fears the brutal assassinations of Monaghan, 43, and Lyons, 46, was an act of retaliation by mobsters with Daniel clan connections. But we told how Police Scotland and a relatives of Monaghan had ruled out that theory amid claims the execution was carried out by another mob not connected to Scotland. In a statement issued this evening, Assistant Chief Constable Stuart Houston said : "We have been assisting Spanish colleagues with their investigation into the fatal shootings in Fuengirola. "We are not aware of any current evidence which suggests the deaths of these two men in Spain are linked to the recent criminal attacks in Scotland being investigated as part of Operation Portaledge. "We are aware of the statement from the Spanish Police and although we cannot comment on an ongoing investigation in another jurisdiction, our position remains that we have no current evidence to suggest that this incident was orchestrated from Scotland. "We are aware of the arrest of an individual in the Merseyside area and will continue to support colleagues in Spain where necessary and if required by them. " However, Spanish investigators today stated with some conviction a Daniel clan associate was their number one suspect. We told earlier how Mr Pedro Agudo Novo - head of the provincial Judicial Police unit - said: 'The double murder was carried out by a professional killer and member of one of the victims' rival gangs. 'In this case we're not talking about an independent hired killer but an internal member of the rival Daniels gang who ends up assassinating two members of an enemy gang." The Scottish Sun then put those comments to Police Scotland who today stood firmly behind their earlier stance that the killings are not the work of a Scots-based mob. We told how suspect Michael Riley, 44, from Merseyside, was arrested in Liverpool on Friday before appearing at Westminster Magistrates Court on Saturday. Ross Monaghan - From Glasgow street thug to running with Global cartel bosses The double-murder suspect was remanded in custody during the brief hearing. Lawyers acting for Riley didn't make a bail application ahead of a second court date on Thursday when the alleged hitman is due to appear via video link. The court heard Riley was 'likely to abscond' if given his liberty while facing such grave allegations. The serious nature of the offences he faces was noted in the decision to remand Riley who is the subject of an extradition warrant by Spanish authorities over the murders of the Scots duo. Career criminal Monaghan - who fled Scotland for Spain after a failed attempt on his life in 2017 - was tried but acquitted over the murder of notorious Glasgow hood Kevin 'Gerbil' Carroll at an Asda car park in 2010. In August 2017 he and Eddie Lyons Jr, both members of the Lyons Glasgow crime family, were cleared of being involved in a brutal street attack on three men outside the Campsie bar in Bishopbriggs, East Dunbartonshire. 4 Associates of caged mob boss Mark Richardson have been under attack since March. 4 Ross 'Miami' McGill has been waging a gang war over claims of a drug deal con. Their deaths come amid an ongoing turf war in Scotland that's resulted in 45 arrests as part of Police Scotland's Operation Portaledge. Dubai-based former Union Bear McGill, 31, of East Kilbride, is said to have launched the campaign of violence after he was ripped off by associates of Richardson who used fake notes in a £500,000 cocaine deal.
