Scottish crime figure Steven Lyons, an alleged ally of the Kinahan cartel, is being extradited to Spain following his arrest in Bali last week.

Reports link the Kinahan crime cartel and a cage fighter to ships allegedly involved in smuggling Iranian oil, highlighting illicit trade networks amidst international sanctions.

The outbreak of international war likely wasn’t on the bingo card for the Kinahan Cartel when they decamped to Dubai, yet that’s precisely the scenario they find themselves in.

Authorities report that the former home of Kinahan Cartel lieutenant Sean McGovern in Dublin remains empty, with refurbishment efforts stalled due to 'constant intimidation' of contractors by criminals.

Photographs from a Dubai MMA event appear to show alleged Kinahan cartel leaders Daniel and Christy Kinahan in public for the first time in years.

The Kinahan cartel has solidified its links to criminal associates in Iran since the outbreak of war in the country.

Gardaí believe Christy Kinahan Snr and his sons have not left the UAE in four years, fearing arrest if they cross a border, effectively making Dubai their 'gilded cage'.
