WAMAbu Dhabi: The UAE has approved the extradition of Irish national Daniel Kinahan to Ireland following a final ruling by the Dubai Court of Cassation, marking a significant step in judicial cooperation between the two countries in the fight against transnational organised crime. The development was announced following a phone call between Abdullah bin Sultan bin Awad Al Nuaimi, UAE Minister of Justice, and Jim O'Callaghan, Ireland's Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration. Kinahan is regarded as one of the most wanted figures linked to international organised crime and is accused of leading an organised criminal group, as well as involvement in murder and illicit narcotics trafficking. Al Nuaimi reaffirmed the UAE's commitment to expanding judicial cooperation with Ireland and strengthening partnerships with countries around the world. He described the decision as an important milestone in bilateral judicial cooperation and underscored the value of international partnerships in confronting organised crime that operates across national borders.
