Police in Dubai arrest alleged Irish crime boss Daniel Kinahan

Daniel Kinahan, alleged leader of a major Irish criminal network, has been arrested in Dubai, according to Irish media.

Ireland’s national police, the Garda Síochána, said an Irish man in his late 40s was arrested Wednesday under a warrant for alleged serious organized crime offenses.

Dubai Police confirmed the arrest of an “Irish fugitive” linked to international organized crime.

Kinahan, named by Ireland’s High Court as a senior figure in drug trafficking and firearm offenses, has been in conflict with another crime gang in a feud that has been linked to several killings.

In 2022, the U.S. offered a $5 million reward for information leading to the destruction of the Kinahan crime gang.
