Government Jet Heads to Dubai for Daniel Kinahan Extradition
The Air Corps jet can fly nonstop to Dubai, and gardaí expect to bring Kinahan back for a Special Criminal Court appearance.
- An Irish Government jet departed Casement Aerodrome in Baldonnel on Saturday morning bound for the United Arab Emirates to retrieve alleged crime boss Daniel Kinahan . The aircraft is expected to return to Dublin on Sunday.
- Irish authorities secured the extradition following a bilateral treaty with the UAE established last year. Kinahan, named in the Irish High Court as a senior figure in the Kinahan cartel, faces charges of directing organized crime stemming from the Kinahan-Hutch feud.
- Garda and Defence Forces are executing an unprecedented security operation to escort Kinahan from Baldonnel to the Special Criminal Court and Portlaoise Prison. Officials remain prepared for potential interference attempts given the gang leader's substantial resources.
- Kinahan will join associate Sean McGovern in the A5 unit of Portlaoise Prison, where McGovern is serving a 24-year sentence for directing cartel activities. Both men were extradited from the Middle East following investigations by the National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau.
- This extradition marks a significant development in the investigation into the Kinahan-Hutch feud, which erupted in 2015 and resulted in 18 deaths. Authorities have pursued the alleged gang leader for years, culminating in this unprecedented international operation.
