FLASH IN THE CAN..BUT COULD BE OUT BY 2027

'Gucci Gang' boss glad to be named and eyes release in just two years

CRIMINAL Glen Ward is said to be “happy” he has been outed as the infamous Mr Flashy as we reveal he could be back on the streets as early as 2027.

Ward, 32, who has been named as the leader of the 'Gucci Gang' based in Finglas, North-Dublin, is serving a five-and-a-half-year prison sentence in Portlaoise prison.

Two weeks ago he was given an 18-month suspended prison sentence for violent disorder and possessing a bicycle saddle during a daylight melee against a rival gang.

The media was not allowed to name him as 'Mr Flashy' over the years because he had only minor convictions then.

This was despite him being named in the High Court as the gangster and the leader of the Kinahan-affiliated 'Gucci Gang', during the €1.7million CAB case against Kinahan's top lieu-tenant Ross Browning in 2022.
