Jailing Kinahan cartel No2 Thomas “Bomber” Kavanagh was one of the biggest blows to organised crime in the past 30 years, a top garda has revealed.
He was jailed for 21 years by a British court in March after a joint operation between gardai and the UK’s National Crime Agency.
A meticulous investigation spanning eight countries linked him to 23 shipments of cocaine and cannabis smuggled inside heavy machinery.
