Fat Freddie flees to the Philippines in hit threat - City News, National News - Herald.ie: "GANGSTER Freddie Thompson is moving to the Far East after fresh threats against his life.

Thompson is understood to be relocating to the Philippines after rivals vowed to have him killed in 2011.

The drug boss, who has been living between Holland and the UK since he was forced to flee Spain last summer, has reportedly started looking at luxury properties in Manila.

'Fat' Freddie fears a new assassination attempt following a failed truce in the Crumlin-Drimnagh gangland feud.

The Filipino capital is the top choice for Thompson as it has no extradition treaty with Ireland and the mobster already has drug smuggling contacts in the city.

He is making the move after his biggest supplier - Christy ‘Dapper Don' Kinahan - dropped him when Spanish police issued an arrest warrant for the Coombe criminal."
