Europol arrests 49 linked to cocaine cartel managed from United Arab Emirates
2022-11-28
Any scoop on whether this is the Kinahans? It certainly sounds like it, although the BBC was reporting that the head who’s been arrested is a UK national which threw me off a bit
> “Other alleged members of the cartel are […] the Kinahan Organised Crime Group, an Irish outfit run by Christy Kinahan and his sons, Daniel and Christy Jr, who remain free in the UAE despite having been designated for massive sanctions by the US Department of Treasury earlier this year.”
Typical Irish begrudging. Never like to see our own do well
I think I read somewhere that Christy Kinahan has a UK passport

I wouldn’t be terribly shocked to find out there’s more than one criminal cartel operating from the UAE to be honest.

Explains Manchester City”s transfer spend. The training ground has very big laundry room.
Same cartel, but didn’t get any any of the Kinahans… yet.
