Irish suspects from Dublin

Police believe a British broker offered them money to intimidate a Norwegian man into dropping legal action, and were asked to kill him if they failed
There has been news of a number of arrests on Gran Canaria in police investigations into extortion and fraud which allegedly involve a British investment broker who lives on the island. The Irish Independent said two Irish suspects, who have now been released on bail with charges, were said to have been offered 28,000 € by the broker to get a Norwegian man to drop legal action taken out against him in relation to a 200,000 € investment. They were said to have been asked to kill the Norwegian and his partner if they failed in making him withdraw the charges.
The only information on the Irish suspects is that the contact was made some months ago, and they may be from Dublin. The charges against the two are attempted perversion of the course of justice and intimidation.
They were arrested along with another man from Ireland on Tuesday last week at a meeting in a bar with the Norwegian and his lawyer, the paper said. The third suspect was released without charges.

It’s understood the British man was arrested on board a plane which was about to take off from the airport, and has appeared in court for extortion and conspiracy to murder.
