Mob boss Daniel Kinahan used a bogus passport in a heroin addict’s name to travel to Dubai in the weeks after the Hutch gang targeted the thug in a botched hit.
It was the second trip to the UAE he made in three months using a fraudulent travel document under the name of Seamus Walsh. Walsh, a 43-year-old carer and GAA volunteer, was before Dundalk District Court yesterday where it was heard he applied for and sold his passport for €2,000 in 2011, before it was used by the gang boss.
The court heard he was “off his head on drugs” and “in the throes of heroin addiction” at the time. Sources have confirmed to The Irish Mirror that Kinahan travelled to the UAE in early September 2015, using the bogus document.
