Reports this morning say the gangland boss was taken from his cell for questioning yesterday.

Gilligan is currently serving a 20-year sentence for drug trafficking.

If charged and convicted over the mobile phone, he could face an additional sentence of up to five years in prison and a fine of €10,000.
