This notorious Kinahan hitman has been booted out of Ireland – to stand trial for murder in Lithuania.
Sources have confirmed to Dublin Live that Imre Arakas – caged here in 2017 for a foiled murder bid that gardai believe was personally ordered by mob boss Daniel Kinahan – was extradited to the Baltic state early yesterday. Arakas, 63, was serving a six-year jail term for the plot to take out Hutch associate James “Mago” Gately – but he completed that sentence late last year and has been in custody on foot of an extradition request by Lithuania since.
All the paperwork has now been completed and Arakas was whisked from the top security Portlaoise Prison in Co Laois to the airport, where Lithuanian cops escorted him on a flight to the capital of Vilnius. A Garda spokesman confirmed a man had been extradited to Lithuania yesterday morning.
