Spain is a bolt hole for the underworlds shadiest characters.
It always been a bolthole for criminals but they weren't shooting each other in the street twice a month. I feel sorry for the people that retired out there & are having to live among these bleeps.

They just give the orders & pay a scally to do it. A lot of us were right about JG being involved in a bigger drug fued. Now they've remanded MM's alleged murderer while Bonnie and Clyde are at the street market looking for a gucci holster

Johnnys back in prison what’s Madison gonna do now? 🤣

John George murder suspect Johnny Smyth returned to prison in Spain as bail revoked

Judge orders he be returned to prison with the potential loss of the €100,000 bail bond.

The only remaining suspect in the murder of Belfast man John George has been ordered back to prison, as a judge reprimanded him for "not respecting" the Spanish justice system.

Johnny Smyth appeared in court in Torrevieia on Friday for a hearing linked to his release from prison on bail in December last year on a €100,000 bail bond.

John George was murdered in December 2024 while on holiday in Spain. His body was found in an orchard in Rojales near Torrevieia, South of Alicante, on January 7 last year.

Smyth spent most of 2025 in prison after being arrested at an Airbnb in northern Portugal in March and extradited the following month to Spain.

Since his release he has continued to come to the attention of Spanish police.

In March of this year he was caught with a number of weapons after he was stopped by police, along with his wife Madison Allen (21). Smyth had a 9mm Star pistol in the van he was driving, and during a follow up search of his home in Moralet near Benidorm, a "disassembled revolver and a sawn-off shotgun were discovered.

A bulletproof vest, a balaclava, two gloves, a gun magazine, more than 100 9mm cartridges and two knives were also seized.

The pair were arrested and spent three nights in a police cell before being released pending further investigation. Police are understood to be analysing the weapons to see if they have been used in any crimes, including John George's murder.

Smyth is understood to have alleged at the time of his arrest that he feared for his life following the March 1 street shooting of Czech national Michael Maly, who was also being investigated as a suspected accomplice in the fatal shooting of Mr George.

A 40-vear-old man from Manchester has been arrested in relation to the murder of Mr Maly, whose body was found at Rocio de Mar beach in Torrevieia

Smyth was present in court on Friday for an appeal of his bail brought by the George family.

The 27-vear old also made a counter application to the court, asking that his bail restrictions be relaxed to allow him to sign bail iust twice a week and also to return the majority of his bail bond and reduce the amount to €30.000

However, after the judge was shown evidence of social media content uploaded by the couple since Smyth's release which appeared to be mocking and threatening members of the deceased man's family, including the murdered man's father Billy

George. The judge called for a short adjournment to review the material. Among them was a clip of Smyth claiming he was "living like a king" during his time on remand in Spain. His wife had also gave interviews boasting that the couple enjoyed conjugal visits during his time on remand.

After reviewing the material the judge told Smyth he was "returning him to the kingdom" allowing him two days to get his affairs in order. The judge also reprimanded the Newtownabbey man, who has been living in Spain for several years, saying he had shown "no respect" to the justice system in the country.

The law in Spain means that the bail bond of €100.000 can now be retained by the state. Whether he loses some or all of the money is to be decided at a later date.

The court ruled that the bail granted on December 17 last year now be "set aside" and that Jonathan Alan Smyth be remanded in custody without bail until the disposal of the preliminary investigation into the murder of John George.

The George family said that they were "relieved" that Smyth had been returned to jail and thanked the judge "for considering all the information placed before the court".

Probably did that probably forms part of why JS said he was feared. But it seems the judge is well aware of social media and was having none of it mentioning them taunting the Georges, they could have easily stayed away and ignored it but chose to actively pursue and wind them up. Lower than Billy’s gut them two.

I bet Jonny wasn't expecting that! He went to court to get his bail conditions varied, including a reduction to €30k from the €100k held by the court. The G's opposed it & it seems the judge took exception to Mr & Mrs Smyth taking the piss out of the Spanish judicial system. There ye go, moral of the story is never look a gifthorse in the mouth..

I don’t understand why he wasn’t sent straight back to jail immediately when he was found with multiple guns, bullets etc while out on bail for murder? Wasn’t his wife also found with guns in her possession on a separate occasion?

Crikey, always something popping off with this isn’t there! I like the whole ‘I was treated like a king’ ‘ok back to your kingdom then’ business 🤣🤣 I do think that’ll be it now, he won’t be out for many many years 🤞🏼 I didn’t know it was a thing though to be give a couple of days to get your affairs in order before returning to jail, that seems crazy to me 😳 do we think he’ll go quietly tomorrow?

He’s probably done a runner out the country already like last time, whats he got to loose?
Totally agree. Reading that fb page though it seems they have people watching them constantly (now if that’s true or not who knows) but, if it is true, I doubt they’ll watch them flee…

She doesn't give a duck, give her dues for that. That tshirt looking a bit tight Jonny
Jeeze…. Is it really that she doesn’t give a duck? Or is she trying to save face? Perhaps she really doesn’t give a duck, not because she believes they’re saints or he’ll be out soon… but because it means less drama & black eyes?! Who knows… wonder if she will start enjoying her time without him again 🍆🫣

I think she is devastated she has to be but she won’t give anyone the satisfaction of seeing it.

She needs to use this time to get herself off those hard drugs she looks worse and worse in every pic.

I think so! There was some comment wasn’t there, maybe on Courtney’s from that account saying proud dad or similar!? Very odd for a fully grown man dealing with what he is. I can’t lie, all these AIs are boring and not remotely funny! Bring back the T-shirts I say 🤣
