The Garda’s top gangland investigator has strongly criticised the “fake news” being pumped out on behalf of the Kinahan cartel. 

Assistant Commissioner John O’Driscoll said a glossy video making claims of Garda and Government corruption in relation to the Hutch attack at the Regency Hotel five years ago was part of a disinformation campaign by the Kinahan cartel.
