Suspect Arrested in Connection with Gangland Murders in Fuengirola
Law enforcement apprehends an individual linked to the killings of two Glasgow gangsters, intertwined with ongoing criminal conflicts.
The Spanish National Police have arrested a suspect believed to be the assailant in the shootings of Eddie Lyons Jr. and Ross Monaghan, two gangsters with ties to the Lyons crime family of Glasgow.
The incident took place on June 1, 2025, in Fuengirola, a coastal town in Málaga, Spain.
The victims were reportedly watching the UEFA Champions League final at Monaghan's Pub located on the seafront when they were attacked by an assailant wearing a mask.
According to the investigation, the suspect is allegedly associated with the Daniels crime clan, a rival syndicate of the Lyons family active in the same region.
Following the shootings, the perpetrator fled the scene and managed to escape Spain via Portugal before boarding a flight to Liverpool.
The apprehension of the suspect was facilitated through international cooperation with British authorities, leading to a warrant for his arrest.
He is currently being transported to London for further legal proceedings.
Investigators have noted that the gunman was not a hired hitman but rather an experienced member of the Daniels gang, indicating a deeper level of involvement in the ongoing gang rivalry.
The violence is thought to stem from a longstanding gang war in Scotland that has now spilled over to the Costa del Sol, a known hotspot for organized crime in Europe.
In recent years, the region has attracted various mafia figures and criminal leaders from across the continent, highlighting the broader implications of gang conflicts that transcend national borders.
