Justice Minister Simon Harris has revealed “good progress” has been made in the investigation into mob boss Daniel Kinahan.
Speaking to reporters at the annual conference of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors in Galway yesterday afternoon, Mr Harris indicated that investigations into the Kinahan cartel have seen significant development. Asked about the issue as we approach a year since Kinahan was hit with crippling US sanctions, Mr Harris said: “Well I’m very conscious of not commenting on specific and very ongoing and live Garda investigations.
“[But] I’m extraordinarily proud of the gardai and their work with international partners in relation to this and I’m very satisfied that good progress has been made.” The DEA and the United States Treasury Department announced sanctions against godfather Christy Kinahan and his sons Daniel and Christy Jr almost one year ago.
