A senior garda has insisted the three leading members of the Kinahan cartel will be brought to justice as he confirmed a number of investigation files have been submitted to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Assistant Commissioner Justin Kelly, who heads the Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau (DOCB), has also told how gangland crime has moved from “highly organised” to “unstructured localised groups” which has seen a level of “volatility and uncertainty.”
The DOCB has caged 68 members of the Kinahan cartel since it went to war with the Hutch faction, which ignited following the February 2016 Regency Hotel attack which claimed the life of David Byrne.
