Daniel Kinahan Arrested in Dubai

In a major blow to international organized crime, Daniel Kinahan was apprehended after a 48-hour surveillance mission triggered by his appearance at a high-profile MMA event in Dubai.

Kinahan had been living in exile since 2016 following a deadly shooting at the Regency Hotel in Dublin, which sparked a violent feud between the Kinahan and Hutch cartels.

Authorities are now working on the complex legal process to extradite him to face trial in Ireland.

The arrest is seen as a milestone for the Gardaí and their international partners in dismantling the Kinahan network's global operations.
