Organisierte Kriminalität: Mutmaßlicher Anführer der Kinahan-Clangruppe nach Irland ausgeflogen
Die kriminelle Organisation ist in Irland berüchtigt. Seit Jahrzehnten soll sie Drogen- und Waffenschmuggel kontrollieren. Jetzt soll der mutmaßliche Anführer vor Gericht vorgeführt werden.
A suspected leader of a major criminal organization spanning Europe is set to be brought before Irish courts, according to the British news agency PA. The individual was transported to Ireland via government aircraft as part of an extradition process from Dubai. He was initially arrested in the United Arab Emirates in the spring.
RTÉ Irish radio reports that he is due to appear in Dublin court followed by a high-security prison. The accused is identified by media as the alleged leader of the notorious Kinahan criminal gang in Ireland. The 49-year-old is suspected of orchestrating the criminal syndicate responsible for serious crimes including drug and weapons smuggling that have plagued Ireland for decades.
The group is linked to decade-long drug and weapons trafficking. The BBC reports this individual is the son of the founder of the criminal organization. The gang is believed to have emerged in the 1990s. The accused's lawyer has claimed the allegations of him being a gang boss are false.
