A UK boss of the Kinahan organised crime group who orchestrated a plot to amass an arms cache to dupe authorities in a bid to secure himself a lighter prison sentence has been jailed for six years.
Irish national Thomas Kavanagh, 57, had hoped that by leading the National Crime Agency (NCA) to a buried stash of 11 “fearsome” weapons, he could influence sentencing in a multimillion-pound drug smuggling case.
