A trusted manager for the Kinahan cartel who oversaw the “industrial-scale” storage of drugs worth €1.4million and the distribution of ammunition was jailed yesterday for eight years.
In passing sentence, Mr Justice Tony Hunt said the case of Douglas “Oscar” Glynn was a good example of how higher level members of the criminal organisation use “coal-face” operatives as “cannon fodder”.
He told the Special Criminal Court how society was now “entitled to a long period of silence from Glynn”, who is serving a six-and-a-half year term imposed by the same court for his involvement in a foiled Kinahan cartel plot to murder James “Mago” Gately.
