Ökänd maffiaboss utlämnad från Dubai till Irland

Den ökände irländske maffiabossen Daniel Kinahan har lämnats ut till Irland, uppger Förenade arabemiratens statliga medier enligt Reuters.

Kinahan har varit internationellt efterlyst av både irländska och amerikanska myndigheter i flera år. Trots detta har han kunnat leva ett relativt öppet liv i Dubai, där han bland annat fotats på MMA-galor, vilket Bellingcat avslöjade tidigare i år.

Kinahan-familjens globala brottsimperium beskrivs som ett av världens farligaste av det amerikanska finansdepartementet som utlovar 5 miljoner dollar till den som hjälper dem gripa familjens tre ledare.

bakgrund
 
Daniel Kinahan
Wikipedia (en)
Daniel Joseph Kinahan (born 25 June 1977) is an Irish suspected crime boss. He has been named by the High Court of Ireland as a senior figure in organised crime on a global scale. The Criminal Assets Bureau has stated he "controlled and managed" the operations of the Kinahan Organised Crime Group (commonly called the Kinahan Cartel), a criminal organisation which smuggles drugs and firearms into Ireland, the UK, and mainland Europe, and "has associations that facilitate international criminal activity in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and South America". The Kinahan Cartel has had an ongoing feud with the Hutch Gang. The feud began in 2015, when Gary Hutch was murdered in Marbella, Spain by the Kinahan gang. As of August 2021, at least 18 people have been killed in the feud. In October 2022, the head of the An Garda Síochána Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau stated in an affidavit to the Irish High Court that Kinahan had "sanctioned a number of murders" as part of the Hutch–Kinahan feud, during a CAB court case where properties were ordered seized by the judge as it was proven they were the proceeds of crime. In October 2024, Garda Commissioner Drew Harris urged Kinahan's associates to turn him in for the US offered reward of $15 million and witness protection. Kinahan was arrested in Dubai in April 2026, following an arrest warrant issued by the Irish courts in relation to alleged serious organised crime offences.
