Spanish police are investigating possible links between a massive cocaine seizure along Spain’s southeastern coast, la Costa del Sol, on 5 February 2008 and the murder of Irish drug dealer Patrick Doyle. Authorities arrested eight men, including one Irishman, following the seizure of 115kg of the drug near the location of the murder. Spanish officials say the men in custody may have links to the murder. Officials also believe that Doyle’s death was the result of rival drugs traffickers in Spain, rather than an Irish gangland feud.
