The Kinahan Cartel's connection to the Russian GRU (Main Intelligence Directorate) is part of the wider narrative surrounding transnational organized crime networks and their links to state actors or paramilitary organizations. The Kinahan Cartel, an Irish organized crime syndicate, has expanded its operations across Europe and beyond, dealing in drug trafficking, arms smuggling, and money laundering. Their connections to the Russian GRU primarily revolve around the facilitation of arms deals and drug smuggling routes.Arms Trafficking: The Kinahan Cartel, seeking to secure weapons for their operations and conflicts, is believed to have sourced arms from Russian-controlled suppliers, potentially involving actors tied to the GRU. These arms deals may have included small arms, explosives, and other military-grade weaponry, enabling the cartel to maintain its violent operations.Drug Smuggling Routes: Russia has been implicated in facilitating drug trafficking networks through its connections to criminal organizations, and the GRU's involvement is often speculated in these operations. The Kinahan Cartel has exploited these routes, working alongside Russian-organized crime to move narcotics, particularly cocaine, from South America to European markets, often using ports and smuggling routes influenced or controlled by Russian elements.Money Laundering: The Kinahan Cartel, like many transnational criminal organizations, engages in money laundering schemes to hide their illicit profits. Connections to Russian entities, possibly with GRU protection, have enabled the Kinahans to funnel money through offshore accounts, shell companies, and other financial structures linked to Eastern European markets.(commercial at 10:51)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.sundayworld.com/crime/irish-crime/kinahan-cartel-working-with-russian-fbi-to-move-drugs-across-europe-expert-reveals-41674802.html

Even when Interpol slapped a “Red Notice” on Sean McGovern, the Irish career criminal hiding out in Dubai was probably not too concerned.That Red Notice came about because the DPP in Ireland directed that McGovern, Daniel Kinahan's closest and most trusted lieutenant, should face charges relating to the 2016 murder of Noel Kirwan (62) as part of the Kinahan-Hutch feud and the notice requested police authorities around the world to find and arrest the Dubliner.McGovern would likely have considered the UAE a safe haven, far from the reaches of US and European law enforcement agencies. But he was wrong. Last Thursday morning he was finally arrested at his home in Dubai.So what has changed in the UAE, where authorities have proven to be notoriously reluctant to co-operate with extradition requests from western law enforcement agencies.What will happen to McGovern now? And what does it mean for the Kinahan cartel leadership who consider themselves safe in Dubai – father Christy and his sons Daniel, Christy jnr? Could they also be on their way back to Dublin to face justice in the near future?Irish Times crime and security editor Conor Lally explains the background.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

A major breakthrough was made in the mammoth Garda investigation into the Kinahan Cartel and their leadership, with the arrest in Dubai of a Senior Kinahan Cartel Lieutenant, Sean McGovern. He will be extradited back to Ireland over the murder of Noel ‘Duck Egg' Kirwan, and other criminal offences.How significant is this, and what does it mean for the remaining Kinahan Cartel in Dubai?Paul Williams, Crime Journalist and author, joins Kieran to discuss.

The hit on Peter "Petey Black" Rice, a Kinahan Cartel associate, was a meticulously planned assassination amid the escalating feud between the Kinahan Cartel and the Hutch gang in Dublin. Rice, a mid-level operative, was ambushed and killed outside a gym in North Dublin, highlighting the violent and unpredictable nature of the gang rivalry. The murder underscored the Kinahan Cartel's internal paranoia and strict enforcement of loyalty while intensifying the cycle of retaliatory violence between the two factions. Despite increased law enforcement efforts and international cooperation to dismantle these networks, the investigation into Rice's assassination remains unresolved. The incident reflects the broader challenges of combating organized crime, where both sides continue to adapt and prepare for potential future confrontations.(commercial at 9:21)to contat me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The Kinahan-Hutch feud is a violent conflict between two of Dublin's most powerful crime families, marked by a series of brutal killings and an ongoing struggle for dominance. The feud began in earnest in 2015 with the assassination of Gary Hutch, a member of the Hutch family who was accused of stealing from the Kinahan cartel. This act of violence sparked a deadly cycle of retaliation that has claimed numerous lives, including the notorious Regency Hotel attack in 2016, where a key Kinahan associate was killed in a brazen assault. The feud has since evolved into a complex, transnational conflict involving drug trafficking, sophisticated criminal networks, and a significant impact on both local and international law enforcement efforts.Despite extensive crackdowns by law enforcement, including operations by the Gardaí and Europol, both families have continued to operate, using their resources and connections to avoid capture and maintain their power. The feud has left a profound impact on Dublin, creating a climate of fear and uncertainty in affected communities. As the conflict persists, it serves as a stark reminder of the challenges posed by organized crime and the difficulties of achieving lasting peace when deep-seated rivalries and the pursuit of power drive the actions of those involved. The feud's future remains uncertain, with the potential for continued violence as both sides remain unwilling to back down.(commercial at 10:04)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Despite the arrest of Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, a key leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, the drug trafficking operations are expected to continue with minimal disruption. Zambada had been preparing for a potential exit by gradually delegating responsibilities to his sons and other trusted members of the cartel, ensuring a seamless transition in leadership. The Sinaloa Cartel remains a robust and diversified organization, with multiple factions like Los Chapitos and Los Mayitos operating independently in different regions. These factions control critical drug trafficking routes and maintain established networks with suppliers and distributors.The cartel's operational resilience is also supported by its ability to adapt to leadership changes without significant loss of control over its territories and drug routes. Experts believe that while there may be some internal power struggles or adjustments, these are unlikely to disrupt the overall flow of drugs into the United States. The cartel's established networks, alliances with other criminal groups, and ongoing control of key territories will continue to facilitate the northward movement of drugs. Furthermore, the cartel has a history of strategic adaptations in response to law enforcement actions, suggesting that the arrest of El Mayo is just another event in its long history of overcoming challengesSegment 2:The Mexican government has been underreporting the violence occurring in the border state of Tamaulipas, particularly in cities like Matamoros. This underreporting has raised concerns both within Mexico and in the United States. Despite frequent shootings, street blockades, and reports of extortion and kidnappings by cartels, official crime statistics often do not reflect the full extent of the violence. This discrepancy is partly due to political reasons, such as maintaining a positive public image and avoiding economic repercussions like decreased tourism and foreign investment​.Local residents and business owners in Tamaulipas have expressed frustration over the government's failure to accurately report the situation, which they believe downplays the threats they face daily from organized crime. Moreover, there are reports of extrajudicial killings and disappearances, further complicating the security landscape. The lack of transparent and comprehensive reporting by the government makes it difficult to address the root causes of the violence and hampers efforts to seek justice and accountability​.Segment 3:Volunteers from the group Colectivo Amor por los Desaparecidos (For the Love of the Disappeared Collective) discovered human remains in a suspected cartel "kitchen" near the Reynosa-Matamoros highway in Tamaulipas, Mexico. The group notified authorities after finding bone fragments exposed to heat, a common practice used by cartels to destroy evidence after killing their victims. These locations are often referred to as "kitchens" due to the use of fire to dispose of bodies.Two sites were identified: one near kilometer 85 of the Reynosa-Matamoros highway and another at Sierrita farm, west of Matamoros. Authorities recovered four sets of bones and 54 bone fragments from the first site, along with seven steel drums containing bone fragments at the second site. The use of fire to reduce bodies to bones is a known tactic among cartels to conceal murders. The Attorney General's Office has stated that DNA testing will be conducted on the bones to help identify the victims, but this process is expected to be lengthy and complex.This discovery underscores the ongoing violence and human rights abuses in the region, as volunteers and community groups continue to search for missing relatives amid persistent cartel violence. The findings were reported in August 2024 and highlight the efforts of local collectives in uncovering these hidden crimes and working with authorities to seek justice for the missing persons and their families.Segment 4:Liam Byrne and Thomas Kavanagh, both linked to the Kinahan cartel, are preparing for a trial in the UK on charges of attempting to acquire firearms and ammunition. The trial follows extensive investigations by the UK's National Crime Agency, often compared to the FBI, which also led to Byrne's extradition from Spain. Kavanagh, already serving a 21-year sentence for previous drug trafficking offenses, faces additional legal challenges as both men plead not guilty to the new charges.

The Kinahan Cartel is an organized crime syndicate based primarily in Ireland and has expanded its criminal operations globally. It is named after its alleged leader, Christy Kinahan Sr., although the leadership structure of such organizations can be complex and secretive. As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, here is a comprehensive summary of the Kinahan Cartel:Origins and Background: The Kinahan Cartel originated in the 1980s as a small-time criminal organization involved in drug trafficking and other illegal activities in Dublin, Ireland. Over the years, it has grown in scale and notoriety, becoming one of the most powerful and influential criminal groups in Europe.Criminal Activities: The Kinahan Cartel is primarily involved in a wide range of criminal activities, including:Drug Trafficking: Their main source of income comes from the trafficking of illegal drugs, particularly cocaine, cannabis, and ecstasy. They have established connections with drug suppliers in South America and Europe.Armed Violence: The cartel has been linked to numerous violent incidents, including shootings and assassinations, as they seek to maintain control over their territory and eliminate rivals.Money Laundering: To legitimize their illicit earnings, the cartel is believed to be involved in money laundering through various legal and illegal means, including real estate and businesses.Extortion and Protection Rackets: They reportedly engage in extortion and protection rackets, targeting businesses and individuals for financial gain.Human Trafficking: There have been allegations of involvement in human trafficking for sexual exploitation and forced labor.Global Expansion: The Kinahan Cartel has expanded its criminal operations beyond Ireland and the UK, with reported activities in countries such as Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, and the United Arab Emirates. This expansion has led to international law enforcement agencies cooperating to combat their activities.Rivalries: One of the most well-known aspects of the Kinahan Cartel is its violent feud with the Hutch crime family, another Dublin-based criminal organization. This feud has resulted in numerous casualties on both sides and has drawn significant attention from law enforcement.Law Enforcement Efforts: Irish and international law enforcement agencies, such as the Gardaí (Irish police) and Interpol, have been actively pursuing the Kinahan Cartel. Several arrests and seizures of drugs and assets have been made in efforts to dismantle the organization and the effects of such actions are taking their toll on the once mighty cartel.(commercial at 10:45)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Kinahan cartel 'no longer the dominant force it was once', says top garda (irishexaminer.com)

The Kinahan Cartel, a notorious Irish organized crime group, has reportedly established connections with militant groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas. These connections are primarily based on mutual interests in the trafficking and laundering of funds from narcotics and other illicit activities.The cartel's involvement with these groups appears to be part of a broader strategy to expand its operations and secure channels for money laundering and drug trafficking. Hezbollah, in particular, has been linked to the Kinahan Cartel through the use of its networks for smuggling drugs into Europe and laundering the proceeds through various businesses and financial operations. These connections are particularly concerning due to Hezbollah's reputation for financing terrorism through illicit activities.The Kinahan Cartel's ties to these groups underscore its evolution from a local crime syndicate into a transnational criminal organization with significant influence and reach. These relationships also highlight the cartel's role in the global narcotics trade, where it collaborates with various international actors to sustain its operations.The connections between the Kinahan Cartel, Hezbollah, and Hamas illustrate the complex and dangerous alliances that form in the underworld of global organized crime and terrorism.(commercial at 7:38)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.thesun.ie/news/9392730/kinahan-cartel-links-hezbollah-terror-group/

Kinahan Cartel lieutenants Liam Byrne and Thomas ‘Bomber' Kavanagh are facing a lengthy trial in the UK. They are accused of an alleged plot to get a reduced sentence for Kavanagh by hiding a stash of weapons and later revealing their whereabouts to the police.The trial involves intercepted Encrochat messages, and there could be a legal challenge regarding their admissibility in court. French police hacked the Encrochat messaging system used by suspected crime syndicates in 2020 and shared their intelligence with the UK's National Crime Agency (NCA).Both Byrne and Kavanagh have denied being part of the conspiracy to acquire guns and ammunition. Kavanagh is already serving a 21-year sentence for organizing cocaine and cannabis shipments worth €36 million, while Byrne was charged in relation to the plot after being extradited from Spain last December.  (commercial at 7:09)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Kinahan Cartel pair Liam Byrne and Thomas ‘Bomber' Kavanagh could launch Encrochat legal challenge - SundayWorld.com

The Kinahan cartel continues to feel the pressure of the worldwide investigation that was launched into their orginization over a year ago by Garda and their interinational partners. Since that aggresive strategy has been implemented, the Kinahan cartel has suffered a series of huge blows that have included shipments being intercepted and high ranking soldiers and captains getting nabbed by the authorities. In this episode we see the hits keep on coming when a huge load of product shipped from their partners in Colombia was interdicted and seized.

The Jalisco New Generation Cartel (Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación or CJNG) is one of the most powerful and violent drug trafficking organizations operating in Mexico. It emerged in the early 2010s as a splinter group of the Milenio Cartel, another criminal organization based in Jalisco, Mexico.The roots of the CJNG can be traced back to the mid-2000s when the Milenio Cartel was headed by Ignacio "Nacho" Coronel Villarreal. After Coronel's death in a shootout with Mexican security forces in 2010, a power struggle erupted within the cartel. Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, also known as "El Mencho," emerged as a prominent figure within the organization.Under El Mencho's leadership, the CJNG rapidly expanded its influence and territory, becoming one of the most dominant cartels in Mexico. They have been involved in drug trafficking, money laundering, extortion, and other criminal activities. The CJNG's primary operations involve the trafficking of cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, and fentanyl into the United States.The CJNG has gained notoriety for its brutality and willingness to engage in violence to achieve its objectives. They have been responsible for numerous acts of violence, including assassinations, mass killings, and the use of explosives.

Here are some ways in which commercial drones have been adapted for military use:Surveillance and Reconnaissance: Commercial drones equipped with high-resolution cameras and sensors are being used for intelligence gathering, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions. These drones can provide real-time imagery of enemy positions, movements, and terrain, allowing military forces to make informed decisions.Target Acquisition: Drones equipped with advanced sensors, such as infrared or electro-optical cameras, can identify and track potential targets on the battlefield. This information can be relayed to military command centers for further analysis and action.Communication Relays: Commercial drones can be outfitted with communication equipment to serve as mobile relays, extending the range and effectiveness of military communications networks. This is particularly useful in remote or rugged environments where traditional communication infrastructure is lacking.Cargo Delivery: Drones are being used to deliver essential supplies, ammunition, and medical equipment to troops in the field. This can help reduce the logistical burden on military convoys and reduce the risk to personnel from ground-based transportation.Electronic Warfare: Commercial drones can be modified to carry electronic warfare payloads, such as signal jammers or signal intelligence (SIGINT) equipment, to disrupt enemy communications and radar systems.Combat Operations: In some cases, commercial drones have been weaponized and used for offensive purposes on the battlefield. These drones may carry small arms, explosives, or other munitions to engage enemy targets.Mine Detection and Clearance: Drones equipped with specialized sensors can be used for mine detection and clearance operations, helping to reduce the risk to military personnel and civilians in conflict-affected areas.In our second article:The Kinahan Cartel is an organized crime group based in Dublin, Ireland, known for its involvement in drug trafficking, arms smuggling, money laundering, and other illicit activities.

The Jalisco New Generation Cartel (Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación or CJNG) is one of the most powerful and violent drug trafficking organizations operating in Mexico. It emerged in the early 2010s as a splinter group of the Milenio Cartel, another criminal organization based in Jalisco, Mexico.The roots of the CJNG can be traced back to the mid-2000s when the Milenio Cartel was headed by Ignacio "Nacho" Coronel Villarreal. After Coronel's death in a shootout with Mexican security forces in 2010, a power struggle erupted within the cartel. Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, also known as "El Mencho," emerged as a prominent figure within the organization.Under El Mencho's leadership, the CJNG rapidly expanded its influence and territory, becoming one of the most dominant cartels in Mexico. They have been involved in drug trafficking, money laundering, extortion, and other criminal activities. The CJNG's primary operations involve the trafficking of cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, and fentanyl into the United States.The CJNG has gained notoriety for its brutality and willingness to engage in violence to achieve its objectives. They have been responsible for numerous acts of violence, including assassinations, mass killings, and the use of explosives. The cartel has also targeted Mexican security forces, engaging in confrontations with police and military personnel.Despite efforts by Mexican and international law enforcement to dismantle the CJNG, the cartel has proven to be resilient and adaptable.
