Daniel Kinahan Lived Like a King, Owned $117 Million Empire: Then, Police Arrested Him in Dubai; Here’s How

On Friday, Dubai Police arrested alleged Irish organised crime boss Daniel Kinahan, 48, on an extradition warrant issued by Irish courts for his alleged role in international organised crime.
The arrest follows years of investigation by An Garda Síochána into the Kinahan cartel, with the Director of Public Prosecutions directing charges related to the Kinahan-Hutch feud.
Since 2022, the U.S. government has maintained a US$5 million reward for information leading to the cartel's financial disruption or arrest, underscoring international pressure on the organisation.
Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan welcomed the development, noting the extradition relies on the new bilateral treaty between Ireland and the United Arab Emirates.
Kinahan may challenge the extradition, potentially delaying proceedings by six to eight months, though he faces potential life imprisonment if convicted in Ireland.
