AUTHORITIES are attempting to track down a senior member of the Kinahan cartel who is believed to have fled to Spain.
Cops want to question the unnamed individual over the fatal shooting of Noel ‘Duck Egg’ Kirwan in Ireland last December.
The murder is linked to the Hutch/Kinahan feud.
The Irish Gardai believe the criminal, aged in his early 30s, had a role in the dad-of-four’s murder and want to question him on his whereabouts on the night of the killing.
He is not thought to have carried out the murder himself.
Kirwan, 62, killed in front of his partner at their west Dublin home on December 22.
He was not involved in the ongoing Hutch/Kinahan feud and was considered a soft target.
“Gardai from other districts have been told to arrest this individual if he is sighted but he hasn’t been seen in Ireland in several weeks,” a source said.
“The likelihood is that he has fled to meet up with his other associates in Spain.”
