Overview

  • Eddie Lyons Jr (46) and Ross Monaghan (43) were laid to rest on July 4 at Glasgow’s Bishopbriggs Crematorium with a guard of honour formed by more than 100 vehicles and private security personnel
  • Michael Terence Riley, 44, remains in UK custody under a Spanish arrest warrant and faces an extradition hearing later this year without formal charges yet filed in Spain
  • Spain’s UDYCO homicide unit is actively probing further suspects and mapping the organised-crime network behind the May 31 drive-by shooting at Monaghans Bar in Fuengirola
  • Investigators link the assassination to a 25-year feud between the Lyons crime clan and the Daniel family, with cartel-bounty motives suspected in the cross-border vendetta
  • Collaboration among Spanish National Police, Police Scotland, the National Crime Agency and Merseyside Police highlights the complexities of tackling clan-based organised crime across jurisdictions
