The United States on Tuesday offered a $5 million reward for help arresting the leaders of Ireland's Kinahan drug trafficking gang which it likened to some of the world's most notorious crime networks.
The United States also imposed financial sanctions against gang leaders whom Irish police said had gone from dealing heroin and cocaine in Dublin in the 1990s to operating across Europe.
A wide range of criminality, including more than a dozen murders, is estimated to have generated over 1 billion euros ($1.09 billion).
