Daniel Kinahan to Return to Ireland in 'Weeks' as Extradition Appeal Fails
Irish authorities are preparing his return after the 48-year-old lost his final appeal and will face a gang-direction charge.
- On Thursday, Daniel Kinahan failed in his final extradition appeal in Dubai, clearing the way for his return to Ireland to face trial on organized crime charges.
- Arrested in Dubai this past April, Kinahan is wanted in Ireland to face charges of directing a criminal gang following an intensive investigation by An Garda Síochána.
- Irish authorities are coordinating a major security operation for his return, utilizing an Air Corps Casa 295 that will land at Casement Aerodrome, mirroring the extradition of Sean McGovern, who was jailed for 24 years.
- Upon arrival, Kinahan will likely be held at the state's maximum-security facility in Portlaoise before facing trial at the non-jury Special Criminal Court next year.
- This extradition follows sustained pressure by Irish and United States authorities to dismantle the Kinahan cartel, which emerged after a violent feud claiming about 20 lives and drew a $15 million U.S. reward for his arrest.
