Gerald Kean claims in High Court article wrongly linked him to Kinahan gang

Solicitor Gerald Kean has told a High Court jury he was “shell-shocked” by a front-page newspaper article concerning a visit by members of the Criminal Assets Bureau to his Dublin office three years ago.

Mr Kean has sued for defamation alleging, among various claims, the March 11, 2016, article in the Irish Daily Star, labelled "Exclusive" and headlined "Kean caught up in CAB probe", wrongly and maliciously linked him to gangland crime and to the Kinahan crime gang.
