Five Irish nationals, a Norwegian and a Spanish lawyer have been arrested in what is understood to be a major Spanish police operation against tobacco smuggling linked to south Armagh.

The arrests are understood to include husband and wife, Donna Maguire and Leonard ‘Bap’ Hardy, who served prison sentences in Holland and Germany for their parts in IRA attacks on the Continent in the late 1980s. Hardy (54) and Maguire (57) are married with four children and live in the Mount Pleasant area of Dundalk.
