April 17 (UPI) -- An Irish man who allegedly laundered money and trafficked drugs and firearms throughout Europe was arrested in Dubai after officials in Ireland tracked him around the world.
Law enforcement officials in the United Arab Emirates said in a statement that Daniel Joseph Kinahan was arrested on Wednesday after a joint international criminal investigation, The Guardian and The Washington Post reported.
Officials from both Ireland and the UAE noted that the arrest comes after work in recent years to rein in "serious and organized crime."
"The arrest comes as part of efforts to combat cross-border crime," Dubai police said in a statement.
