(Picture: Twitter)An Irish gangster linked to Tyson Fury was placed under worldwide sanctions on Tuesday as he was named by the US as the head of an organised crime family responsible for murders and smuggling large quantities drugs into Britain.
The US Treasury said that Daniel Kinahan – who was publicly saluted by Fury for his role in trying to organise a world heavyweight fight with Anthony Joshua – runs the “day to day operations” of the “murderous” Kinahan Organised Crime Group involved in international drugs and firearms trafficking and money laundering.
