The Irish Mirror tracked John Gilligan down to a small villa outside Torrevieja but he turned tail and hurried in through the gate of his small villa when we approached
Ageing mob boss John Gilligan has denied claims he is suffering from cancer. The underworld in Dublin and Spain had been rife with rumours the veteran criminal was suffering from an aggressive form of prostate cancer.
However, last night a close associate of the Dubliner contacted Irish Mirror after we confronted him – to insist he was fine. The go between said “John says hello – he is healthy.” When pressed if Gilligan had cancer, the associate insisted: “No.” The veteran criminal was handed a 22-month suspended prison sentence by a Spanish court after admitting he used courier services to smuggle cannabis and prescription drugs to Ireland.
Gilligan was camera shy when we approached him – unlike his controversial appearance on a Virgin Media TV documentary series that aired last August. He said: “John Traynor ordered the murder of Veronica Guerin and it was carried out by Charlie Bowden. And the man on the bike was Brian Meehan, 100,000,000 per cent. Without a shadow of a doubt.”
