He landed at Casement Aerodrome in Dublin on Sunday evening and was taken under heavy security to the Criminal Courts of Justice in central Dublin, where he is to be charged with directing organised crime. He will then be transferred to Portlaoise Prison, about 50 miles outside the city. Kinahan is alleged to be the leader of the Kinahan organised crime group, which is said to control around a third of Europe’s cocaine supply and to be involved in firearms and racketeering. He was arrested in April this year after UAE authorities rejected his appeal against extradition. The extradition follows a May 2025 treaty between Ireland and the UAE. Kinahan, who has not yet been tried, told a podcast he expected to receive a life sentence.
