Michael Riley Extradited to Spain in Killings of Ross Monaghan and Eddie Lyons Jnr

Spanish officials say he was remanded on arrival in Madrid following his consent to transfer from the UK.

Overview

  • Spanish court officials confirmed Riley arrived at Madrid Barajas late Wednesday and was remanded to a Madrid prison.
  • He initially opposed extradition on safety grounds before consenting last week, according to the Crown Prosecution Service.
  • Specialist officers from the National Crime Agency’s national extradition unit escorted him to Spain, the BBC reported.
  • He is expected to be brought before the Fuengirola court that is investigating the double murder.
  • Spanish police describe him as a Daniels gang member and a highly trained killer who studied cameras and planned his escape, while Police Scotland says it has no intelligence linking the shootings to its gang-war probe that has produced 57 arrests.
