Suspected crime boss Daniel Kinahan has been remanded in custody after being extradited to Ireland from Dubai on charges of leading an organised criminal group. Kinahan told the court: “I was taken in Dubai and isolated from Friday afternoon,” adding that he assumed a family member would have contacted a legal representative. Detective Sergeant Colin Davidson told the court he had arrested Kinahan on foot of an arrest warrant issued by the Irish courts. Irish police chief Justin Kelly said “this arrest shows our determination, along with our international policing partners including Dubai Police, to target transnational organised crime groups”. In a joint statement Sunday, UAE and Irish justice ministers called Kinahan “one of the most high-profile individuals sought for prosecution in connection with transnational organised crime”.
