    Byrne Snr is a close associate of Irish businessman Daniel Kinahan, who has been linked to killings in the UK, money laundering and a multi-million pound drug smuggling racket.
    Byrne Snr’s links to the Kinahan cartel emerged in Ireland’s High Court in 2018 when it was claimed that he was at “the very top tier” of organised crime.
    Lawyers told the court Byrne was a “close and trusted associate and lieutenant” of Kinahan.
    Lee had his own brush with the law in January when he was given a warning by Merseyside Police for crashing his £80,000 BMW M3 on the M62.

    His boozy trip to Sin City saw the midfielder splash out on an £80,000 VIP package which included 116 bottles of Champagne.
    It also saw him partying alongside a shock Premier League rival.
    But it hasn’t all been fun and games for Grealish while he has been away.
    Grealish shared footage of himself working hard in the Santorini sun earlier this week, showing off a muscular figure.
    He and Sasha were also both in attendance Conor Hourihane’s wedding in Mykonos and Harry Maguire’s wedding in France last month.

    Inside Andy Carroll and Billi Mucklow’s incredible £5m Essex lovenest

    ANDY Carroll and TOWIE star Billi Mucklow own an incredible Essex lovenest.The pair are due to tie the knot in two weeks time, but yesterday it was revealed that the Newcastle striker passed out in bed next to blonde bombshell Taylor Jane Wilkey after flying to Dubai to gatecrash his fiancée’s hen party.
    Inside Andy Carroll and Billi Mucklow’s Essex mansion
    The spacious garden features a football pitch and a mini Angel of the North statue
    The footballer started dating Billi in 2013
    They share three children – Arlo, Wolfie and Marvel Mae.
    Andy popped the question during a romantic holiday in Rome in 2014 and they are due to get married in June 2022.
    However Andy was recently pictured asleep in bed with another women – and a representative for Andy and Billi declined to comment.
    The woman in question though – Taylor Jane Wilkey – told The Sun: “It was all just a bit of entirely innocent fun.”
    After their drip to Dubai the couple returned to their amazing home in Essex.
    With nine bedrooms, four bathrooms, lavish decor and plenty of space for the 6ft 4in centre forward not to whack his head on a low beam, it seems the ideal property.
    Not one to forget his roots, the Newcastle-born father of five has even customised his garden with a special mini Angel of the North statue in his garden!
    The home boasts a massive nine bedrooms.
    And in the master bedroom there’s a naughty touch – hanging from the ceiling above the bed is a huge mirror.
    The modern bathroom features his and hers sinks, so the couple can get ready together in a hurry, if needs be.
    A bespoke kitchen is perfect for any wannabe chef, and features two curved islands as well as an impressively sized cooker.
    While the conservatory works as a dining room, and is perfect for entertaining guests.
    Finally, entertainment is always on hand with the incredible home cinema room – making movie night a pleasure.

    Their massive garden on his one acre of land, and he has built his own football pitch, where he can hone his skills and stay fit.
    But, by far the most impressive thing we’ve seen that defines Carroll’s roots, is the mini Angel of the North statue he has.
    It’s a carbon copy of the real thing, just a little bit smaller, and rests on some astro-turf.
    During his time with West Ham, he must’ve really missed the North East – but at least he had the perfect reminder in his backyard.
    Andy has two children – Emilie Rose and Lucas from a previous relationship.
