Socialite Fran Fennell lived it up on a rollercoaster of holidays and nights out with models and executives while selling vast amount of cocaine to the party circuit. And he made vast profits from a unique cocaine start up which saw him fly human mules from Ireland to Australia where he could quadruple his profits.
But the playboy dealer who was groomed by underworld killer Eamon ‘The Don’ Dunne and who supplied Dublin high society with lines of cocaine has lost it all after law enforcement on both sides of the globes cracked down on his business and seized his money and shut down his gang.
This month Fennell was told he will do eight years in jail for drug trafficking while his co-accused were handed sentences for their roles in the operation.
Nicola speaks to Niall Donald about Fennell, his background and his likely future after jail.
