SENIOR Kinahan cartel fixer Johnny Morrissey was once involved in a plot to kill Belgian police officers.
the gangland banker, 62, was identified as an associate of a mob who were planning to murder investigators in Belgium who had smashed his gang’s money laundering network in the mid 90s.
Morrissey’s loyalty to Daniel Kinahan came back to haunt him in April as Morissey was identified by the US Treasury Department of being a key member of the narco terrorist outfit.
His company Nero Drinks was also hit with sanctions by the US Treasury Department after it was accused of laundering cartel cash.
Morrissey lived an extraordinary double life — hanging out with celebrities while also laundering millions in cash for the Kinahan cartel.

€200 million and counting: Kinahan laundering suspect Johnny Morrissey arrested in dawn raid on Costa del Sol
According to Europol, Morrissey helped run the world´s largest “Hawala” laundering gang, facilitating and financing the criminal activities of the Kinahans.
“Hawala” networks are an ancient form of transferring money which dates back to the Middle East´s famous silk route.
To protect themselves from possible attack while travelling the route with potentially large amounts of money, merchants would hand over their money at the start of their trip to a “hawaladar” who in turn would give them a code.
