Kinahan mobster Ross Browning has received a boost despite the Criminal Assets Bureau stripping him of €1.5million assets this week.
The 39-year-old will not be prosecuted over allegations he had a fake passport for which, if convicted, he could have faced 10 years in jail. Browning was arrested last summer over alleged use of bogus papers after returning from Dubai. But the Irish Mirror has learned the probe has been dropped.
Browning had travelled to the UAE to meet mob boss Daniel Kinahan as part of his key role for the cartel.
