Detectives believe he sourced the getaway cars used in the murders of Darren Kearns on Blackhorse Avenue in 2015 and Eddie Hutch Snr, brother of gang leader Gerry Hutch, in 2016.

The discovery of his body on Sunday is being investigated by Spanish police, the Guardia Civil.
A spokeswoman for the Department of Foreign Affairs told Dublin Live they had not been contacted in relation to the discovery of the man's body but said they were ready to provide consular assistance if required.
Dublin Live has contacted the Guardia Civil for comment.
