Daniel Kinahan, the alleged kingpin of the Kinahan crime syndicate, is back on Irish soil and in a whole lot of trouble, bruv. The 49-year-old boxing promoter was flown home from Dubai on a £39m government jet 🛥️, straight into the waiting arms of the feds at Baldonnel Airport.
No time for pleasantries, Kinahan was whisked off under armed guard to the Special Criminal Court in Dublin. He’s facing charges of directing a criminal organisation from 2015 to 2017. Wearing a black hoodie and dark-rimmed glasses, he appeared before the court and was remanded in custody until his next hearing on October 5.
Detective Sergeant Colin Davidson confirmed the arrest at Casement Aerodrome: 'He's done for it now.' The extradition, approved by both Irish and UAE authorities, shows international co-operation ain't just a buzzword, innit.
