Senior members of the Kinahan crime cartel have shot into the headlines after being hit by sanctions from the US, likened to those currently being implemented against Russian Oligarchs, as part of international action to clamp down on the group's activities.
The US Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) issued the order against the 'Kinahan Organized Crime Group', including seven of its key members, Christopher Kinahan Senior, Daniel Kinahan, Christopher Kinahan Junior, and three associated businesses.
A reward of up to $5 million is being offered for information that can lead to the group's dismantling.
