Alleged Irish crime boss Kinahan charged with directing criminal organization

Dublin prosecutors charged alleged Irish crime boss Daniel Kinahan with directing a criminal organization on Sunday, following his extradition from the United Arab Emirates. Kinahan, 49, was named by the U.S. in 2022 as one of three leaders of the Kinahan Organised Crime Group and had been offered a $5 million reward for his arrest.

He was remanded in custody after a brief hearing at Dublin's non-jury Special Criminal Court, guarded by armed police. Kinahan apologized for not having a lawyer present, stating he had not been able to arrange representation while in Dubai.
