"Operation Destabilise" has exposed the dark money web relied on by criminals and spies alike. The international sting, led by the UK's National Crime Agency, uncovered a multi-billion dollar crypto laundering network which included the Kinahan cartel, Russian spies, online scammers and even a Moscow socialite. So how did it work, how was it uncovered and where might the money go next?

It's been ten years since the beginning of the Hutch-Kinahan feud. A new book, 'Kinahan Assassins', chronicles the killings ordered by the Kinahans over the course of the feud. We speak to its authors Stephen Breen and John Hand from the Irish Sun and authors of 'Kinahan Assassins'.
The Kinahan cartel is Ireland's most powerful crime gang, and one half of its most notorious gang war. After a failed hit on boss Daniel Kinahan, the cartel recruited a team of killers to retaliate against the Hutch gang. One of the men they hired was Estonian Imre ‘The Butcher' Arakas – but the eccentric hitman was soon caught. Ciarán Dunbar is joined by crime editor with the Irish Sun and co-author of ‘Kinahan Assassins', Stephen Breen, to tell the story of the Kinahan-Hutch feud, its victims and its hitmen.

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

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.

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.

The Kinahan cartel has recently made significant cuts to its payroll, reducing the number of operatives as a response to increased international pressure and sanctions. This decision is part of the cartel's broader strategy to adapt to heightened scrutiny and asset freezes imposed by authorities in the UAE and the U.S. The U.S. sanctions, specifically targeting key members and businesses associated with the cartel, have led to significant financial constraints, prompting the cartel to downsize its operations and reduce costs.The Kinahan cartel, known for its extensive involvement in drug trafficking and money laundering, has faced increasing challenges due to coordinated efforts by international law enforcement agencies. The sanctions, which have frozen assets and restricted the cartel's ability to conduct business, have forced them to reassess their operational structure. This has resulted in the dismissal of numerous lower-level operatives, often referred to as "soldiers," who were previously employed to carry out the cartel's illicit activities.Additionally, the cartel's strategic hubs, particularly in Dubai, have come under greater scrutiny, further complicating their ability to operate smoothly. The sanctions have not only impacted the cartel's financial resources but also hindered their logistical capabilities, making it more difficult to maintain a large workforce dedicated to their criminal enterprises.(commercial at 8:51)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Daniel Kinahan 'axes dozens from his cartel payroll' leaving former key associates 'in real trouble' - Irish Mirror Online

Johnny Morrissey, a key figure in the Kinahan Cartel, served as one of their primary money launderers. His criminal activities included laundering vast sums of money for the cartel and setting up an empire of extortion and other illegal enterprises in Spain. Morrissey was known for his involvement in moving finances not just for the Kinahan Cartel but also for other criminal groups, making him a significant asset within the cartel's operations.In September 2022, Morrissey was arrested in Spain, accused of laundering up to €200 million. His arrest was part of a broader crackdown on the Kinahan Cartel, which has been described as a significant blow to the organization. Morrissey's detention raised concerns within the cartel about the potential information he might divulge to authorities in exchange for leniencyFollowing his arrest, it was reported that Morrissey split from the Kinahan Cartel, although detailed reasons for the split have not been explicitly documented. The separation likely stems from the intense scrutiny and pressure from law enforcement agencies, which may have led to internal discord and distrust within the cartel.(commercial at 8:15)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Kinahan cartel sever ties with money-launderer Johnny Morrissey following bail release in Spain - SundayWorld.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

A major new investigation by The Irish Times has uncovered details of the Kinahan cartel's property empire being secretly sold off in Dubai. Most of the real estate had been purchased in the name of Caoimhe Robinson, the wife of Daniel Kinahan, who is not accused of any criminality. The organised crime group has been put under pressure by sanctions imposed by US authorities two years ago, resulting in the disposal of several luxury assets in the Middle Eastern city. Among them is a property in a gated community where residents have included infamous podcaster Andrew Tate and the family of former Zimbabwean dictator, Robert Mugabe.

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.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Kinahan cartel 'no longer the dominant force it was once', says top garda (irishexaminer.com)Become a supporter of this podcast:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
