Police from five countries were involved in the dawn swoop on the Costa del Sol gangster, now accused of laundering €200 million over just 18 months, a remarkable €350,000 a day. It came as the couple’s company Nero Vodka held a string of glitzy showbiz parties at numerous top venues on the coast. Organised in conjunction with their friends, the owners of Euro Weekly News, they took place at leading five star hotels and restaurants. As well as sponsoring concerts, they even backed the Marbella International Film festival in 2021 and, thanks to
EWN owner Michel Euesden, they managed to get their vodka sold in leading shops, even including El Corte Ingles. Everything was colourfully reported in a string of gushing articles in the paper and online.
As Michel put it at the film festival: “The tagline of Nero is ‘undefeatable spirit.’ And this festival epitomises that spirit, the undefeatable spirit of Marbella.” She later wrote in February this year that Nicola was a ‘dynamic
FOLLOWING THE MONEY
The Morrisseys invested heavily in anywhere or anyone who would take their cash. They own at least 11 properties on the Costa del Sol, which were all raided last week by officers from the Guardia Civil’s crack GAR team. This includes two villas, both valued at between

WHEN police raided the home of feared Costa businessman Johnny ‘Cash’ Morrissey last week they hoped to find many incriminating items and the odd weapon. But what they hadn’t bargained on was a series of little black books listing all the payments from his wife’s company Nero Vodka. The ‘notepads’ carefully detailed all the businesses and gangs the bogus Marbella-based company had lent or laundered money through over the last two years.
