Daniel Kinahan sanctioned “a number of murders”, the High Court was told yesterday – as it gave the Criminal Assets Bureau permission to seize a house he owns.
The claim was made in an affidavit by the head of the Garda Drugs and organised Crime Bureau. It’s the first time a senior officer has publicly made this accusation.
Det Chief Supt Seamus Boland said the 45-year-old cartel boss gave the go-ahead for killings as part of the Hutch-Kinahan feud. High Court judge Mr Michael MacGrath ruled a five-bedroom property in Saggart, south Dublin, valued at €750,000 in 2013 and “likely to be worth a lot more now”, was deemed to be proceeds of crime.
