Kingpin Kinahan's 'right-hand man' is released on bail - Europe, World News - Independent.ie: "Cunningham, who is said to move between Spain and Holland, is also believed to have been asked to surrender his passport.
Court officials have yet to make any official comment.
But a source close to the case said: 'Cunningham told the judge he was on holiday in Spain when he was arrested and has nothing to do with a crime gang.
'He is still under investigation and remains a suspect but he has been released on bail while the probe continues.'
Around half of the 18 suspects questioned by the judge between Thursday and Saturday are thought to have been sent to jail.
Most are being held in Alhaurin de la Torre prison near the resort of Malaga.
Cunningham's current location is unknown. His lawyer was unavailable for comment yesterday.
After last Tuesday's arrests, police said the criminal gang allegedly led by Christy Kinahan owned property worth €500m in Brazil and €160m in Spain.
Spanish interior minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba said the gang was being investigated over a number of murders as well as money laundering and drugs and people trafficking.
Nine people were arrested in the UK and one in Ireland as part of the same police operation, which was coordinated by Europol.
Kinahan and his sons are formal suspects in the ongoing judicial investigation and are expected to be held in jail for at least two years.
Under Spanish law they will not be formally charged until shortly before trial."
