DUBLIN: A plane landed in Ireland on Sunday carrying suspected transnational cartel boss Daniel Kinahan who was set to face trial after being extradited from the United Arab Emirates, a journalist saw.
Kinahan had been held in custody in Dubai since his arrest there in April after Ireland issued a warrant for “alleged serious organised crime offences”.
The 49-year-old Irishman allegedly ran a group out of Dubai linked by US and European authorities to a vast criminal enterprise that smuggled drugs and laundered money.
The grey Irish government jet reported by local media to be bringing Kinahan landed at Casement Aerodrome, a military air base west of Dublin as a helicopter circled overhead, a video journalist saw.
