Daniel Kinahan is facing a St Patrick’s Day nightmare as it’s emerged a civil case against MTK Global is set to press forward despite his lack of co-operation.
We have learned a US judge has ruled that a lawyer suing Kinahan and MTK can go ahead and provide discovery to the court in his case against the boxing company by March 17 – in favour of his motion for there to be a default judgment in the case. The development could mean that MTK will have to cough up millions if the default judgment then happens.
Boxing promoter Moses Heredia is suing Kinahan and the now dissolved MTK Global – and is seeking damages of up to $20m that he previously said he wanted to give a portion to grieving families of Kinahan/Hutch feud victims. Now we have learned that Mr Heredia’s lawyer Eric Montalvo, a respected former Marine, was officially given the go-ahead to bring evidence before the court by March 17 – to support his motion that the trial effectively go ahead without MTK’s input.

It is understood he expects to make the same motion in respect of Kinahan too. Mr Montalvo said: “We are pleased that the court has given this order.
“We look forward to obtaining information which will now allow us to bring this to a conclusion. Once this part of the case is resolved it will resolve the matter, so it’s the most significant development in the case thus far.”
