  • Darren Gilligan granted bail pending Spanish extradition hearing Drug trafficking (extradition request from Spain) · Co. Dublin

    Darren Gilligan, a 47-year-old man, was arrested in West Dublin on the morning of 12 April 2023 by the Garda Extradition Unit and the Garda National Bureau of Criminal Investigation on foot of a Schengen Information System alert issued by Spanish authorities for drug trafficking and organised crime offences. He was brought before the High Court the same day and remanded in custody until 25 April 2023 by Mr Justice Barr, with Gardaí opposing bail. He was subsequently granted bail of 500 euro with conditions including daily signing on at a Dublin Garda Station and not leaving the jurisdiction. His extradition hearing is set for 21 June 2023, and his counsel said he is willing to consent to surrender to Spanish authorities once the European Arrest Warrant is provided to Irish authorities.
