A man has been arrested in the UK over two fatal shootings in Spain.<\/p>\n

Merseyside Police said the 44-year-old man was detained on Friday and appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court this morning.<\/p>\n

He was arrested in the Liverpool area on behalf of Spanish authorities and the extradition process could see him returned to Spain.<\/p>\n

The suspect, from Merseyside, has been remanded in custody to appear in court at a later date, the force said.<\/p>\n

Police said the arrest was in connection with a double shooting on 31 May. On that date, two Scottish men – Eddie Lyons Jnr and Ross Monaghan – were shot dead by a hooded gunman<\/a><\/strong> outside an Irish pub in Fuengirola.<\/p>\n

The attack took place around 11pm, when a car pulled up outside the bar and a masked man got out, before shooting two men inside.<\/p>\n

The gunman then fled in the car and both men died at the scene.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Police Scotland said there was “no intelligence to suggest”<\/a><\/strong> the double shooting was linked to recent criminal attacks in Scotland being investigated as part of Operation Portaledge.<\/p>\n

The operation is investigating a suspected gang feud linked with a number of shootings, firebombings and assaults in the Glasgow and Edinburgh areas since March.<\/p>\n

More than 40 people have been arrested in connection with the incidents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man has been arrested in the UK over two fatal shootings in Spain.
