Cartel boss Daniel Kinahan is believed to have fled Dubai and relocated to Iran as he desperately tries to avoid extradition to face justice, the Irish Independent can reveal.
As Gerry ‘The Monk’ Hutch enjoyed his first few days of freedom in Dublin this week, it is understood that senior members of the Kinahan cartel – including its leader – have fled Dubai for a “safe haven” within Iran.
The 45-year-old mob boss is under mounting pressure from law enforcement agencies across the globe and is understood to have become “fearful” in recent months that authorities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) would “hand him over” to the US police or An Garda Síochána.
This is despite Kinahan allegedly handing over “huge sums” to corrupt officials within Dubai to ensure his family’s protection and freedom over the past couple of years.
