Daniel Kinahan’s mob handed Jim Mansfield Jnr two suitcases stuffed with €4.5million for a property investment which later failed, it was claimed yesterday.
The High Court heard details of how the interaction took place but that the deal subsequently collapsed as the businessman’s fortune “deteriorated”.
In 2014, in an effort to reimburse the gang, Mansfield Jnr handed control of a gated mansion to gang boss Kinahan and his No2, Thomas “Bomber” Kavanagh, as well as making cash payments.
