‘FAT’ Freddie Thompson’s chances of reuniting with his son behind bars is “slim to none”, senior sources have revealed.
Freddie Thompson’s chances of reuniting with his son behind bars have been dashedGarrett White - The Sun DublinBrad Dempsey was locked up for a terrifying shooting incidentBrad as a kid with Freddie and mum Vicky
Despite the hefty sentence for Brad — his son with ex Vicky Dempsey — jail staff do not foresee any situation in which father and son reunite in the prison system.
A senior source explained it may be a possibility in situations where there are two level-headed inmates caged in the same prison.
But it is “highly unlikely” that a prison meeting between Brad and Freddie will be facilitated given the security concerns — and the fact they are in separate jails.
A source explained: “There are exceptions where such meetings would be sorted by prison staff.
“There have been instances where a husband and wife were in Mountjoy and the Dochas and they had supervised meetings over the period of their sentences.
“But it’s a different kettle of fish with Freddie and Brad.
“There are grave security concerns surrounding Freddie while dealing with him in Portlaoise, with a number of measures in place there to protect staff.
“And Brad has also caused issues in Mountjoy. The chances of a meeting ever being facilitated is slim to none.”
Freddie previously met enemy Brian Rattigan in Portlaoise to put their bitter rivalry to bed in 2019.
The pair led opposite sides of the Crumlin/Drimnagh feud, which claimed 16 lives by 2015.
It was kicked off by the killing of Freddie’s best friend, Declan Gavin, 21, by Rattigan in 2001.
At the time of their meeting, Freddie claimed he was under too strict a regime at the Co Laois lock-up due to his past beef with Rattigan and wanted to prove it was no longer an issue.
DEATH ALLOWANCE
The Irish Prison Service and Department of Justice also gave Freddie leeway after the passing of his mother Lisa in 2023.
The gangland killer was driven under armed guard to a funeral home in south inner city Dublin to say his last goodbye to her.
But his erratic behaviour behind bars has continued since.
And son Brad — who has been in custody since August 2023 — has been attempting to live off his dad’s name in Mountjoy, where many Kinahan lags are housed.
MOUTHING OFF
Sources say he’s been in countless verbal altercations and “cannot keep his mouth shut”, leaving officers no choice but to move him into a protection landing.
One said: “If he wasn’t moved, something would have kicked off in terms of him being battered or carrying out an attack himself.”
Brad was jailed for eight years on Tuesday after shooting up a car with four people inside it on Margaret Kennedy Road, in Dublin 8 in January 2022.
MUM’S TEARS
His lawyer had handed in a letter from mum Vicky who said she carries a “lot of guilt” over what Brad was exposed to as a child. She fled the court in tears after he was caged.
Brad’s presence in Dublin’s south inner city had been a major headache for Gardai.
He was suspected of carrying out a number of violent attacks and had also been drug dealing.

CHELSEA are set to pay up to £30million for 18-year-old French strike sensation Eli Junior Kroupi.
The teenager has hit nine goals in 18 appearances for second-division leaders Lorient and is keen to come to the Premier League — if the move is right for him.

Blues have jumped ahead of Prem rivals West Ham and Bournemouth for Kroupi, who made his top-flight debut at 16 for the club where his dad, Eli, also played.
The French youth cap also picked the country of his birth over Ivory Coast, where his father was a full international.
Chelsea hope to win the auction but a major obstacle will be whether they plan to keep Kroupi at Stamford Bridge or send him out on loan.
Kroupi and his camp want to take on the Prem now rather than wait — and he is also eligible for Uefa’s Conference League.
Hammers prefer to do a deal based on a lower down-payment plus add-ons, while Bournemouth have also been in talks with Lorient over a move worth less cash but with a quicker route into the first team.
Blues are also ready to loan out teens Aaron Anselmino and Marc Guiu.
Anselmino, 19, is seen as a future star but Chelsea think he needs half a season playing to toughen up.
Sheffield Wednesday want the Argentinian defender, while Scottish giants Rangers have also inquired.

Spanish striker Guiu, also 19, could be sent out to a Championship club to gain experience, with Leeds, West Brom and Middlesbrough keen on the former Barcelona starlet.
Blues boss Enzo Maresca told fans to expect some movement in his pre-match press conference on Friday.
The Italian said: “‘You can expect players arriving and you can expect players leaving.
“It is like this in this moment.
“I don’t have any idea about the ones that can leave and the ones that can arrive.
“Anything can happen, we will see.
“For me the main focus is just 48 hours, the game, it is the main focus and the most important thing.”

GASPING for breath, Danielle Secker felt her eyes roll back into her head as her boyfriend pinned her against the wall, squeezing his arm against her neck.
Terrified for her life, she lashed out at thug Jamie Cannella, 34, seeing him release his grip.

Moments later, though, he strangled the helpless mother-of-one.
Despite his vicious assault, it was Cannella who called 999, telling police that Danielle had a knife and was ‘threatening to kill herself’.
When five officers arrived, Danielle, 26, hoped they’d take Cannella into custody.
However, an officer announced, “You’re under arrest for common assault”, before handcuffing Danielle and driving her to the station.
For 18 hours she was held in a cell before officers realised she was the victim and released her without charge.
In July 2024, Cannella was found guilty of controlling and coercive behaviour, intentional strangulation and actual bodily harm.
He was jailed for five years at Luton Crown Court.
Now, Danielle is speaking out to raise awareness of domestic abuse.
Danielle, from Luton, says: “I couldn’t believe I was arrested that night, even after explaining what Jamie had done to me.
“It was horrific being placed in a cell and made to feel like a criminal.
“They should’ve listened to me, not that manipulative monster.
“I’m just relieved he’s finally off the streets unable to harm anyone else.”
Danielle met Cannella in 2015, at a birthday party, when she was 17.
Within weeks Danielle claims Cannella became controlling, isolating her from friends and family.
Danielle, who works in a school, says: “I just thought he was being protective at first.”
In January 2018 the pair moved in together and the following month, things took a sinister turn when Cannella locked Danielle in the house to attend a funeral, not returning until the early hours of the next morning.
When Danielle questioned where he’d been, he flipped.
She remembers: “He grabbed me by the throat and punched me in the face.

“Afterwards he told me to leave, so I went to stay at my grandparent’s house, covering the nasty bruise on my chin with make-up.”
The following day, Danielle’s manager at work noticed the mark and asked about it.
After confessing Cannella’s attack, she escorted her to the police station where she made a statement.
But blinded by love, she decided not to press charges.
Over the next few weeks Cannella grovelled and the pair got back together.
A month later, Danielle fell pregnant but at 11 weeks, she sadly lost the baby, however she says Cannella didn’t offer her the support she so desperately needed.
She says: “Jamie couldn’t have cared less.
“While I ran out of the room after the sonographer confirmed there was no heartbeat, he barked ‘you’re an embarrassment’, it was awful.”
Over the following years, Danielle walked on eggshells around Cannella before eventually falling pregnant again.
Terrified of Cannella’s reaction, she kept it secret until she was five weeks along and he pushed her down the stairs.
As she tumbled she revealed that she was expecting once again.
Danielle says: “Thankfully at an ultrasound the following week showed the baby was OK.
How you can get help
Women's Aid has this advice for victims and their families:
Always keep your phone nearby.
Get in touch with charities for help, including the Women’s Aid live chat helpline and services such as SupportLine.
If you are in danger, call 999.
Familiarise yourself with the Silent Solution, reporting abuse without speaking down the phone, instead dialing “55”.
Always keep some money on you, including change for a pay phone or bus fare.
If you suspect your partner is about to attack you, try to go to a lower-risk area of the house – for example, where there is a way out and access to a telephone.
Avoid the kitchen and garage, where there are likely to be knives or other weapons. Avoid rooms where you might become trapped, such as the bathroom, or where you might be shut into a cupboard or other small space.
If you are a victim of domestic abuse, SupportLine is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 6pm to 8pm on 01708 765200. The charity’s email support service is open weekdays and weekends during the crisis – messageinfo@supportline.org.uk.
Women’s Aid provides a live chat service – available weekdays from 8am-6pm and weekends 10am-6pm.
You can also call the freephone 24-hour National Domestic Abuse Helpline on 0808 2000 247.
“And at first Jamie was excited.
“But when he found out it was a girl, he complained he wanted a boy.
“Nothing I ever did was good enough.”
Cannella’s violent outbursts continued and when their daughter, Vallentina, now two, was born in April 2022, his abuse continued.
Soon after, he punched Danielle in the face during an argument and when she tried to escape, he blocked her way.
Danielle called her auntie for help who notified the police.
Cannella was arrested but Danielle, terrified of the prospect of being a single mum, didn’t press charges again.
In December 2023, Danielle was dealt a further blow when she discovered he’d been seeing an ex.
She says: “When I confronted him, he punched me in the face.
“Then he grabbed my hair and dragged me around the hallway. He then pounded the side of my head, before stomping on my back.”
Cannella wasn’t finished.

As Danielle went to comfort her baby, who was crying, he pushed her against the wall, placing his arm against her neck.
She remembers: “I couldn’t breathe. His eyes were black with rage.
“He told me ‘I’m going to put you to sleep’.
“Thinking he’d kill me, I lashed out. Holding his keys, I scratched his nose.”
After releasing his arm, Cannella yelled for an ambulance, before strangling Danielle again.
Bizarrely, when the assault was over, he called the police, claiming Danielle had a knife and was threatening to ‘kill herself’.
While Danielle dropped her daughter at a neighbour’s, five officers attended the address.
Cannella tried to convince them Danielle was ‘out of her mind’.
Danielle recalls: “One male officer took me aside in the kitchen and I was hysterically telling them about his attacks.
“Despite visible bruising over my face and body, including red marks to my neck and clumps of hair missing, he told me I was under arrest.”
For the first time in years, I’m thankful to be living my life free from fear and violence

With that, she was handcuffed and escorted to a police van.
At the station she was booked in, but upon seeing her injuries, an officer drove her to Bedford Hospital.
Thankfully, a CT scan showed everything was normal.
Danielle explains: “I was taken back to the station where officers interviewed me.
“I revealed all about Jamie’s abuse.
“Yet I was kept in a cell for hours.”
“The following morning, I was released with no further action.”
Meanwhile, Cannella had been arrested and charged with controlling and coercive behaviour, intentional strangulation and actual bodily harm.
He denied all the charges.
In February 2024, before the trial, Danielle received a written apology from Bedfordshire Police in relation to her arrest.
The investigation into conduct said that the management and decision making during the incident was ‘extremely poor’ and they ensure that ‘learning is taken from this incident to ensure it never happens again’.
Danielle says: “I’m still angry at the way they treated me as a victim of domestic abuse but glad that they decided to use what happened as a lesson and to implement better training for their officers in domestic abuse cases.
“Hopefully it’ll never happen to anyone else.”
In June 2024, Danielle bravely gave evidence against Cannella at court before he was found guilty and caged for five years and handed a restraining order.
She says: “For the first time in years, I’m thankful to be living my life free from fear and violence.”
