Darren Gilligan is wanted for three alleged offences in the region of Murcia in southern Spain after a judge there issued a European Arrest Warrant for him on 10 October 2022.
DARREN GILLIGAN, SON of notorious convicted drug dealer John Gilligan, has volunteered to be surrendered to Spain where he is wanted for allegedly trafficking cannabis and sleeping pills as part of an international crime network, the High Court has heard.
At an extradition hearing at the High Court today, Simon Matthews BL, for the Minister for Justice, said Gilligan is accused of trafficking in illicit drugs and psychotropic substances, participating in a criminal organisation and an offence against public health referring to medicines. The European Arrest Warrant states that the Murcia National Police Force was investigating “a network of people dedicated to the distribution of narcotic substances in the Alicante area” and carried out surveillance, monitoring operations and phone tapping of suspects between July 2019 and February 2021.
The warrant also claims that after being intercepted at a petrol station at Torrevieja by police, two packages containing €3,582 worth of marijuana buds were seized. That seizure led to a search of a Spanish address attributed to Gilligan where 23 Zoplicone pills and a vacuum-packaging machine were seized, the warrant states.
The accused told Lynam that he was aware of the consequences of surrendering to the Spanish authorities.
