A 29 year old man from
Liverpool who escaped from a British prison last year has been arrested as he
entered a gym in Estepona. Gerard Hagan had been living openly near Estepona
since his escape from a Lancashire prison. He was serving a 10 years sentence
for his part in an attempt by a gang of Briitish criminals to smuggle 440
million Euro worth of cocaine destined for the British market from a boat off
the Irish coast in 2007. It was largest seizure of illegal drugs in Ireland.
The gang was intercepted and the drugs seized after their boat capsized and
police were called off the coast of Co Cork. Hagan and three other men were put
on trial in Ireland and jailed for sentences ranging from 10 to 30 years for
the botched enterprise. Hagan is now in custody at a prison outside Madrid
pending extradition proceedings seeking his return to the UK. Hagan was
reportedly paid 6,200 Euro after he agreed to co-operate with the authorities
in the run up to the trial.
