Daniel Kinahan arrested in Dubai

The arrest was made after Kinahan was spotted at a mixed martial arts event, prompting quick action from international law enforcement agencies.

The Irish government has thanked UAE authorities for their cooperation in the operation, which is expected to lead to Kinahan's extradition.

Charges against him include murder and directing an organized crime group linked to the Regency Hotel shooting.

This development is viewed as a major blow to one of Europe's most powerful criminal networks.
