Daniel Kinahan Arrested in Dubai

Daniel Kinahan Arrested in Dubai

Kinahan had been living in Dubai since fleeing Spain in 2016 following the murder of David Byrne at the Regency Hotel.

His arrest followed a 48-hour top-secret surveillance mission after he was spotted at a local MMA event.

He is expected to be extradited to Ireland to face charges including murder and heading a criminal organization.

The arrest is seen as a major breakthrough for the Gardaí and international law enforcement agencies who have been tracking the cartel's global operations for years.
