Daniel Kinahan Arrested in Dubai

The arrest of Daniel Kinahan marks a significant victory for the Gardaí and international law enforcement agencies who have tracked the cartel leader across the globe.

Kinahan was detained in a covert operation by Dubai police, ending his period of refuge in the emirate.

The Irish government has thanked the UAE authorities for their cooperation in the investigation, which targets one of Europe's most notorious criminal networks.

Legal proceedings for Kinahan's extradition are already underway as authorities prepare to bring him to justice for his alleged role in the head of the Kinahan Organised Crime Group.
