'Explosive' Irish Sunday Mirror 'A fascinating read' Sean O'Rourke,
Today with Sean O'Rourke, RTE 'Fat' Freddie Thompson first appeared
in court in 1997. He was seventeen and already aspiring to be a
major crime boss. Over the next twenty years his criminal career
would be marked by mayhem, brutality and murder. In 2000 a row over
a failed drugs deal ignited a murderous feud in Dublin's south
inner city. The first victim of the Crumlin-Drimnagh feud was a
childhood friend of Thompson's. He vowed revenge and led his
Crumlin crew in a series of tit-for-tat killings. Sixteen young men
would lose their lives over the next 12 years. Meanwhile, another
childhood friend, Daniel Kinahan, had become a senior figure in his
father Christy Kinahan's international crime cartel. Working with
the Kinahan Cartel Thompson launched himself as a drugs dealer in
Dublin. So when an even deadlier feud broke out in 2016 - this time
between the powerful Kinahans and veteran Dublin criminal, Gerry
'The Monk ' Hutch - Thompson was one of their staunchest allies and
prepared to get his hands dirty. But Thompson's loyalty would be
his undoing. In August 2018 he was convicted of murder and jailed.
Fat Freddie is a gripping account of the rise and fall of Freddie
Thompson. Award-winning crime journalist, Stephen Breen, co-author
of the No 1 bestselling The Cartel, has written the definitive
portrait of a notorious Dublin gangster, a shocking story of
double-crossing, vengeance and murder.
