Almost 80 senior members and associates of the Kinahan crime cartel have been convicted by gardaí in the last five years.

Law enforcement chiefs from Ireland, Britain, and the US yesterday pledged that their international investigations into the Kinahan Organised Crime Group (KOCG) will not end until the network is “dismantled”.
