THE Kinahan cartel used ‘Fat’ Freddie Thompson’s son to smuggle €5,000 through a Spanish airport when he was just nine, The Irish Sun can reveal.

But Brad Dempsey was left with the cash after being quizzed for half an hour by authorities 15 years ago.The now 24-year-old was jailed for eight years on Tuesday after shooting at a packed car in 2022.

His sentencing hearing heard he was exposed to crime at a young age and had a difficult childhood.

And we can now reveal how mob boss Daniel Kinahan’s mum, Jean Boylan, brought Fat Freddie’s then young son through Malaga Airport stuffed with drug money.

The incident was detailed in a call between Boylan and her other son, Christopher Jnr, on February 26, 2010.
