How Kinahan’s hearing unfolded inside the courtroom in Dublin.
A courtroom account of the Dublin hearing that followed the extradition of one of Europe's most-wanted suspects from the Gulf.
Dublin – Suspected crime boss Daniel Kinahan appeared in court and was charged with directing the activities of a criminal organisation after being extradited from Dubai.
Background
Directing the activities of a criminal organisation is an offence created by Ireland's Criminal Justice Act of 2006. Serious organised crime cases in Ireland are usually heard by the Special Criminal Court in Dublin, which sits with three judges and no jury.
The group linked to the Kinahan name has been the subject of international sanctions. In April 2022 the United States Treasury designated the Kinahan organised crime group along with a number of named individuals and businesses, and the US government advertised rewards for information leading to arrests or convictions.
The charges have not been proved. Under the Irish constitution every accused person is entitled to a trial in due course of law and is presumed innocent until a court decides otherwise.
