Freddie Thompson moved to Torrevieja in southern Spain after major traffickers told him to pay up or be killed

Thompson moved to Torrevieja in southern Spain after major traffickers told him to pay up or be killed after €6m in drugs were seized by gardai at the weekend.
“They are known as Fat Freddie and Little Richard. If Freddie shouts jump, Richie says ‘how high?’,” a source said today. Gardai also rubbished weekend reports that a truce had been called between Thompson’s crew and the bitter rivals, the so-called Rastas. The feud between the two groups has led to 15 murders. ‘Little’ Richie Thompson is now one of the only people Freddie trusts as threats on his life increase. The older brother has become Freddie's driver, and the pair were arrested recently after they were stopped by gardai in Drimnagh. “Freddie is becoming increasingly isolated and paranoid,” said one senior garda source. “Who better to trust than your own brother?” Fresh threats on Thompson's life saw the crime lord flee to Torrevieja in Spain last week, and despite a media report today, no truce has been announced in the bitter Crumlin/Drimnagh feud.
