EXCLUSIVE: Roe's bizarre hand-written letter to this paper can now be revealed, as well as details of how he moaned to the Press Ombudsman about our coverage, and lost
Kinahan cartel mobster Liam Roe once moaned to the Irish Mirror in a bizarre letter that he was just trying to “live a normal life”.
“The article written about me, Liam Roe, is completely pointless and unnecessary,” the mobster claimed, going on to say that the details of our article were “complete hearsay”. Roe also moaned that the Irish Mirror had gotten his age wrong “along with many other issues,” and claimed our article, which factually named him as a mobster and pal of Daniel Kinahan, “personally affected me and cost me many job opportunities”.
Mr Leslie told the Press Ombudsman that beyond Roe’s bizarre complaint about his age, his letter identified no specific inaccuracy. He also argued that our use of words like “crook, gangster, henchman and mobster” were justifiable in that Roe had been the subject of well-publicised extensive Garda investigations over the years.
“The BOCG is part of a wider international KOCG , which is involved in, inter alia, the importation and distribution of controlled drugs and firearms into this jurisdiction, the UK and mainland Europe. It has associations that facilitate international criminal activity in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and South America... The KOCG is currently involved in a feud with the Hutch OCG , which has resulted in the murder of at least ten people at the time of the commencement of these proceedings.
Neither of the flights nor the flight tickets were paid for through any account in the name of Liam Roe. Roe was also unable to explain an account in which the massive sum of €294,000 was lodged. He also had eleven vehicles registered to his name - most of which were top-end luxury cars. The three shootings Roe is suspected of were all linked to the Crumlin / Drimnagh feud in South Dublin, a conflict that resulted in the deaths of 15 men. Rattigan, 44, led one gang, while Thompson led the other, with Roe siding with Thompson.
