‘Your downfall is coming’ was his message this week to Kinahan cartel boss, Daniel Kinahan. It followed the conviction of four people already in a plot that was foiled by the Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau (DOCB). CAB described the Kinahan Organised Crime Group -KOCG- as an international gang trafficking drugs into Ireland, Britain and mainland Europe, with bases in Spain, Britain, Netherlands and Dubai. CAB told the High Court in 2018 that the Irish branch of the KOCG was the Byrne Organised Crime Group -BOCG-. The United Arab Emirates is listed under Schedule 2 of the statutory instrument as a signatory to the organised crime convention.
