Alleged Irish organized crime boss Daniel Kinahan extradited to Dublin from Dubai
LONDON (AP) — The alleged leader of an Irish organized crime gang is on his way back to Ireland from Dubai to face charges that he ran an international drug smuggling and money laundering empire with tentacles that stretched to Britain, Spain and the U.S. An Irish military plane carrying Daniel Kinahan, 49, is expected to land on Sunday evening at an airport outside of Dublin…
Dublin is set to receive Daniel Kinahan, a man alleged to be the head of an Irish organized crime syndicate, following his extradition from Dubai. The 49-year-old is expected to arrive on a military plane and be taken to the Special Criminal Court in Dublin. There, he will face charges related to directing an organized crime group, as reported by Irish broadcaster RTE.
Kinahan will be held at the high-security Portlaoise Prison, which is located about 90 miles southwest of Dublin. Irish authorities are reportedly taking stringent measures to ensure his safe arrival and subsequent trial, including a heavy security operation with armed police, military personnel, and prison service personnel. The court in Dubai has denied an attempt to block his extradition, according to the source.
