Gardaí vow to ‘dismantle’ Kinahan crime cartel

Key players in the Kinahan crime cartel will be brought before the courts in the near future, Dublin’s top garda has said.

Assistant commissioner for the Dublin Metropolitan Region, Pat Leahy, said An Garda Síochána would “dismantle” the cartel, saying that no other result was “conceivable”.

He was speaking after gardaí secured their first conviction in relation to the estimated 14 murders linked to the so-called Kinahan-Hutch feud — all but two of them at the hands of the cartel.
