Gang boss Liam Byrne's son rings in New Year with Steven Gerrard ... (Dublin Live)

Our exclusive pictures show Lee Byrne, the son of Kinahan cartel mobster Liam, partying with Gerrard in Dubai on New Year's Eve. Lee was also pictured playing ...

The NCA is now involved in a case to seize his Tamworth mansion and other assets it has deemed to be the proceeds of crime. Byrne’s keen attempts to show he still lives a life of luxury come three years after he was forced to give up Ireland for good - having been named in the High Court as the leader of a criminal organisation. But Byrne, whose sister Joanne is married to Kavanagh, smiled for the camera as he posed beside son Lee and his two younger children among 75,000 football fans at one of the biggest matches in the world - all while his criminal empire fell to pieces at home. He then moved to Birmingham - close to brother-in-law Thomas Kavanagh’s mansion in Tamworth, where the gang had a stronghold. Dubai happens to be the bolthole of mob boss Daniel Kinahan for the past six years - and is also understood to be a favourite hideout for Liam Byrne also. Byrne is believed to have taken over from mobster Thomas ‘Bomber’ Kavanagh as the “number two” in the hierarchy of the Kinahan cartel, and leader of its operations in the transporting of drugs across the UK and Ireland. Last year we revealed pictures which showed Byrne acting like he hasn’t got a care in the world - as he smiled for a photo at the Champions League Final in Paris. Towards the end of the video, Byrne offers to set up a dinner between the fan and Gerrard in his home. His brazen actions mirror almost exactly what mob boss [Daniel Kinahan](https://www.dublinlive.ie/all-about/daniel-kinahan) has been doing for years - as he attempted to wash his image through the sport of boxing. Kinahan, who co-founded boxing firm MTK Global, regularly appeared alongside the likes of two-time heavyweight boxing champion of the world Tyson Fury - and proudly boasted about his abilities in managing boxers and arranging fights. Now these photos show for Byrne hanging out with Lilly’s Premier League star dad - as the family enjoy a holiday in the UAE.
