Kinahan

The Kinahan crime gang is subject to US sanctions and frozen assets in the UAE.

And since 2018, when he was named in the Dublin high court as the head of a £1bn drugs and weapons smuggling group, the criminal allegations against Kinahan have “mounted”, Ingle added in The Guardian. The Gardai, Ireland’s police force, also confirmed the US government’s “megabucks deal” for information is already bearing fruit. And Irish police commissioner Drew Harris said the KOCG was worth more than €1bn (£830m) through its criminal activities and warned that if you deal with the individuals who are sanctioned, “you are dealing with criminals engaged in drug trafficking”. With the UAE freezing all his assets and preparing to send him back to Europe to face justice, the “mob boss” was in a “desperate race to escape Dubai” last night, The Irish Mirror reported. In a statement released on Wednesday, MTK Global said it had faced “unprecedented levels of unfair scrutiny and criticism” since the sanctions were imposed, Sky News reported. What’s it been like building up to a world title defence back home in the UK?

Two Kinahan-linked companies – Hoopoe Sports and Ducashew General Trading – are based in Dubai and will suffer as a result of the sanctions. A $5 million bounty was placed on the heads of the three family members.

In a statement to the Financial Times, the UAE government said that authorities were co-operating closely “on cases involving foreign elements”, as part of the UAE’s comitments “for combating illicit activity”. Mr Martin welcomed the news saying that it was part of a wider international effort to clamp down on organised crime and the Kinahan Organised Crime Group. The UAE said it will continue to work with Irish, US, UK and Spanish authorities to investigate the workings of the criminal gang. Taoiseach Micheál Martin has welcomed moves by the United Arab Emirates to freeze assets of the Kinahan gang members as part of a wider international effort to clamp down on organised crime.

The net has been tightening on the family claimed to be behind more than 20 years of murder, drug smuggling and terror.

Washington admitted the Kinahans to an exclusive and bloody group of gangs, to have been sanctioned by the US government. Had he had he used his skills in any other part of business. It is claimed that the Kinahans' sinister network is felt far from Dublin and Dubai. They have been accused of having links to crime across Europe from the Netherlands to Spain. I think he could have been highly successful,” the Fianna Fáil politician said. He said Daniel Kinahan was “a playboy” with a lifestyle funded by an “empire built upon the pain and suffering of cocaine and heroin addiction.” In September 2015, Gary Hutch, a 34-year-old gangland figure, was shot dead in an apartment complex in Spain. The Kinahans were accused of being responsible for the murder of the nephew of rival crime boss Gerry “The Monk” Hutch.

Daniel Kinahan, the co-founder of MTK and advisor to Tyson Fury and Darren Till, is wanted by the US government.

For years Kinahan has been suspected of pulling the strings behind MTK Global; a company he founded and has since risen to become one of the biggest power brokers in world boxing. MTK, which manages Tyson Fury, Darren Till, Billy Joe Saunders, Aleksandar Rakic and a slew of other top boxers and MMA fighters, has long claimed that Kinahan stopped working with the company since 2017. Tyson Fury, who was pictured with Kinahan in February, is fighting Dillian Whyte this weekend.

Tyson Fury will defend his WBC heavyweight title against fellow Briton Dillian Whyte at Wembley on Saturday night but his mindset going into the fight might ...

Give him a glimmer and he will come for Fury. Whyte’s odds improve should Fury slow down later in the fight, so he will be looking to frustrate and wait for his opportunity. Fury should outbox him, wear him down and knock him out in the championship rounds if not before. Whyte has the power to finish it with a single shot. Whyte will need to get off to a good start and build confidence. Here is the world heavyweight champion admired by millions of kids, people of impressionable age, and he has neither acknowledged that he was friendly with an alleged criminal organisation nor apologised. The whole world was intent on asking him questions he did not want to answer.

An alleged crime boss has become the hottest topic surrounding the WBC match this weekend, Martin Rogers writes.

"There is a long history of boxing and the underworld and if we are being honest, it doesn’t turn people off at all," USA TODAY Sports boxing writer Lance Pugmire told me. The A-side is Fury, although in this case he’s more like the A-minus side. Likewise, dating back more than a hundred years, the chance to be associated with the hardest men in sports (and, in times gone by, to manipulate fights for gambling profit) has been irresistible for numerous crime figures. It has all forced Fury, a -500 favorite with FOX Bet against Whyte, onto the back foot. A U.S. government official also likened Kinahan’s alleged gang to Japan’s infamous yakuza and the Italian mafia. Daniel Kinahan, until recently, remained a somewhat mysterious figure in boxing, routinely praised by and photographed with elite fighters, and described as the founder of the MTK Global promotional company, which claimed an extensive stable of high-profile boxers.

Kinahan Gang Kinahan Cartel Kinahan

The United Arab Emirates is the latest to impose consequences onto Daniel Kinahan, who is accused of having a role in the Kinahan Organized Crime Group.

“Any suggestions that Daniel Kinahan is a shareholder or owner of Probellum are false and defamatory.” MTK Global announced earlier this week that they were ceasing operations at the end of the month due to unprecedented scrutiny. U.S. businesses have been forbidden to conduct any business with Kinahan and the six others who were named as key members of the crime group.

On the eve of his heavyweight title defense, Tyson Fury downplayed any ties to accused Irish drug-cartel leader Daniel Kinahan.

I’m a boxing man and I’ve got a fight to think about, and that’s enough said." "What Bob Arum does with his own money is his own business, it’s not my concern. We have to listen to the government. I don’t want to get into trouble with the U.S. government. When reporters pressed him about his ties to Kinahan, who is now based in Dubai, Fury said: "None of your business. You can’t detail a powerful tale of personal recovery and then fail to disavow an accused drug lord. Asked pointedly if he’d sever all ties with Kinahan, Fury paused and said, "What the U.S. have said, the U.S. have said. And I don’t do anything except box." What a man does with his own business, I don’t care. I don’t care. It’s been a great journey." "It’s none of my concern and none of my interest at all," Fury said to SkySports. "It has nothing to do with me.

The Dublin family developed an extensive trading business in a low-regulation tax-free zone in Dubai in the period after the attack in the Regency Hotel in ...

The leaked files show that on January 8th, 2018, MTK Global wrote to an official in the DMCC in relation to new activities its branch in the tax free zone planned to engage in. MTK has its origins in Spain, where it was founded by Daniel Kinahan and a business partner. “He has had no interest in the business since then, and will have no future involvement with us.” “I am more than capable of serving as a legal representative for the new branch entity.” The group was also involved in business consultancy and “concierge” services and company formation services. A screening and assessment review conducted by the Dubai authorities deemed the Kinahan brothers to be “low risk”. Working with the police in other jurisdictions, the gardaí discovered that an established food export import network was being used to smuggle drugs into Ireland, the UK and elsewhere. We expect this figure to increase consistently over the years as we grow and expand further.” Brinkmann also worked for Haizum General Trading, the leaked documents show. Among the four values cited was humility. The brothers got one parking spot in the building’s underground car park. Under UAE law at the time companies had to be majority-owned by a local citizen.

The Colombians don't care if Kinahan is on some sanctions list — they are still working with him,” the anti-drugs investigator said.

“There is no chance of the Colombians dropping them; it won’t happen. They will supply whoever gives them cash, and that includes Daniel.” They will not be frightened by some sanctions. The source said: “This changes nothing for the supply route. “It is all about money for them. There is no doubt about that,” the source added.
