Gardaí target Kinahan cartel in raids

The head of the Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) has said that raids on nearly 40 homes and businesses “marks a significant development” in its investigation into the notorious Kinahan crime cartel.

Detective Chief Superintendent Patrick Clavin said yesterday’s raids, which took place in counties Dublin, Limerick, Meath and Longford, showed CAB was relentless in its pursuit of criminally-acquired assets.

The operation resulted in the seizure of a large sum of cash, a number of luxury vehicles, top-end watches and the freezing of a bank account which was said to have a substantial amount of money in it.
