Washed-up playboy ‘Fat’ Tony Armstrong had fallen on hard times before hooking up with his old pal John Gilligan in Spain’s Costa Blanca, the Sunday World can reveal. Armstrong (50), who was previously arrested in connection with the murder of the notorious Westies gang leaders, could be seen pinned to the ground in footage released by Spanish police last week. It is suspected that ‘Fat’ Tony is part of Gilligan’s gang of ageing crooks using the postal system to deal drugs. Armstrong and three others were arrested as officers investigate a growhouse in Alicante where they believe the mob source and package the drugs for transport to the UK and Ireland.
