Bout to watch the following BBC documentary on this guy. Admittedly, Stateside I don't think any of us are really privy to him and his criminal dealings. @Irish do you have any insight on him? Bout to watch the doc in a few mins.
Damn, the Irish mob is highly underrated. They may surpass the Mexicans and the Russians in terms of no fucks given. Netflix, go profile the Irish mob! We're tired of hearing about the I-tals.
yea kinahan and his goons are rough characters. makes you wonder how the irish guy that posts here ended up being such a pussy
Barry McGuigan has some nerve on this doc. He's allegedly a fuckin crook himself. Kinahan might be a killer, but he looks like he's doing right by fighters. Which is more than can be said for Barry.
kinahan can afford to take a lower managerial percentage because he's laundering money through MTK. mcGuigan was bold, he may end up dead
A proper scumbag.....father (Christy) went into prison a long time ago and basically used it to further his criminal opportunities in the drugs racket. Learned languages, developed trade links. The son (Daniel)tried to branch out into alternatives with a legal veneer (boxing) but his past and his father's past caught up with him and resulted in a series of shootings at weigh ins etc including unrelated shit like one particular genius called Gerard Cervi who drove all the way down from Dublins inner city to a gym I used to train at where he shot Katie Taylor's father and shot another man (Bobbie Messett) dead because he thought he'd get some sort of rep (with Kinahan etc) for what he'd done. Insane stuff. Cervi has an IQ of about 80. Anyways on the side (of their drugs) the Kinahans got into some sort of feud with a local gangster known as Gerry "The Monk" Hutch, so called because of his ascetic clean lifestyle. I think they shot his brotherand a few others. Hutch is a known criminal who, allegedly, opposed drugs. He shot or had shot the former boxer Jamie Moore in a case of presumed mistake identity when Moore was training Matthew Macklin in Spain. That is the alleged genesis of the feud. The whole thing is a mess. I could go on and on. It's makes Narcos look straightforward and predictable. There's been loads of offshoot killings and thuggery too involving minor connected gangs and lone rangers. Really out-there shit. One case involved a kid who was murdered and beheaded by a local psycho who was in turn sent on a mission with a gun with no firing pin by a smaller crew known as The Dundons. You'd need a wall chart and pens to explain it
He must have known this was on the cards, especially after they picked up his henchman McGovern in the UAE earlier. I presume the less prominent brother is up next, wonder if Christy has not moved on.
Not surprising. Plus I'll bet all this shit is going to be getting curtailed nicely now that we've had (are having) this war on the side. I bet a lot of shit previously tolerated now won't be.
A lot of people who clearly took what will probably legally be defined as drug money after his trial, must be slightly concerned.
It's impossible to prove at trial that somebody knowingly took dirty money and it might not be even a crime. You'd literally have to see him deal the drugs and then hand you the cash.. Of course in England if they want to fit you up a la Palestine Action, they will.
If he pleads guilty which I believe he has no choice but to do since his supposed henchmen have pleaded guilty and the fact that the cops have encrypted messages and have a rock solid case (supposedly) then the entire operation will have been legally defined as having come from drug money, crimes, etc. Anyone who had business dealings with him can expect to be investigated. Bank statements and source of wealth, tax returns etc, the gov can request these from them and more. Sources of wealth will start to be investigated into companies, some of them those boxing interview channels etc and some fighters also I believe may have to explain how and where their money came from. At the very least it will be frightening to some and they will probably spill the beans so that they can make their lives easier. Usually in these cases people start talking in order to save themselves. It's clear Kin will be going away for a long time I think. Once he's done his sentence in Ireland there may be other countries who want him e.g America. Some guy is suing on behalf of JoJo Diaz handlers who say they got screwed by him and he will start making noise now.
