The Kinahan cartel: How one of the world's most wanted men is living 'opulently' in Dubai
Christopher Kinahan is the head of a billion dollar international crime cartel and one of the world’s most wanted men but he’s been sharing his whereabouts and opinions through Google reviews. What is the normally security conscious man doing, and could the information ultimately lead to his capture?

Still spouting news from the 90s . Its a piece of piddle to get around Societies ill thought out Laws . If a door is closed you open it , that's a simple as it all is . What's this so called evidence? Its invisible. Governments do exactly the same don't be taken in by News reporting . So all this effort to gain funds n keep the pockets full .... You won't get the man unless he decides. He's right .

The location of the Kinihans has always been known. This is nothing new. The reward on offer is for information leading to their conviction, it's not for their location.

I find how the biggest crimes against society as a global community a joke. Covid was there for over 2 years before it was announced, i even had this chat in 2017 with my doctor who said apparently its called the Aussie/ Asian flu . My friends daughter came home from Australia some had colds and after they picked up more passengers in Thailand the first thing they all noticed was how ill people on that & other flights. I got that Aussie/Asian flu , i didn't lie down for 2 years as your lungs wouldn't let you breathe. I texted friends saying we're going to get hit with a respiratory pandemic. Yet Pfizer Astra Zeneca & many more made Trillions?? So chasing down ' criminals " isn't what it's all about . Like CIA selling coke to their own for The Fight against communists was is some joke . Afghanistan is another one prime example of who Gains Wins. Justice vs Naivety & Misinformation is our inability to face reality. At 18 yrs of age in the 80s i didn't know any Poppy growers. But it was all our fault??? Vietnam seems to have lit that fuse . So blame the Name jail the name & nothing will stop. Methadone is huge business, how much do you think it costs for inept doctors to keep young people on it til Pension day . Wake up . As the chance is you'll lose your kids again to this gaping hole in society. Hope it never happens to yours . Educate yourselves pls .

Yes but that’s now. Previously he was wanted and was on the run. This is when he left the Google reviews. Ireland (and most nations in the West) don’t have an extradition treaty with Dubai. This guy has gone all around the world setting up a major global cartel.

Interesting as far as detective work goes. But if they really wanted to hurt organised crime and improve health, there is only one solution: Legalise and regulate the drugs trade!

Really annoying how the investigator keeps pronouncing Dubai as ‘Jubai’. No wonder the Irish haven’t been able to catch him!
How To Catch A Wanted Man: publicly tell the media everything the authorities know about him and his whereabouts, as well as provide current updates about police progress - thus keeping the criminal himself updated on their progress?! Oh bravo 🙌

Well said. Wanted for questioning. So that's not a warrant just a no comment scenario.. So as all eyes look at one person the other's are freed up to continue on .. Its a game . He just knows how to play it .

Its surprising these professional investigators havnt understood criminals are not necessarily any different than us. They are simply businessmen who deal in illegal goods... they have thoughts, emotions, family, and dreams...as well as his career. What we do for our work or how we act at work is not who we are. Unless saudi Arabia is willing to expedite him, hes perfectly safe from the law.

Hope not the yanks blew them up chasing the taliban of course who armed them in the 1st place ? Not hard to get that one as the fight against Communism ( Non Capitalists ) raged on . If you can't figure out how it all goes to together its because its a fractured way of getting the plaudits whilst also been the enemy your searching for ... perfect isn't it . Read Killing Pablo which is Narcos word by word you'll get the gist of political & criminal alliances.

Sounds to me like those reviews are used as secret massages as a means to communicate with his cartelmembers.
Very impressive what you can achieve if you put your mind to it. Wish the Kinahans could have applied their management skills to fixing this country. If the Irish government was concerned about criminality they would not have invited the worlds criminals into Ireland no passport required.

Look up the original Westies from Monteal in Canada . Biggest suppliers of S America products in the 70s 80s & beyond . Shannon Airport. Operation Odessa about "Cartel affiliates " buying a Submarine after the collapse of the Communist regime. Ludwig Fainberg Juan Almeida Tony Nelson Yester . Showtime has the documentary or You Tube also has it . See what's possible once corruption is already in place beforehand. Ireland is Rife with drugs RTE , are some of the dealers best customers . Ask Mr Turbidy & Co . I did & he asked can i get him some . No you false jalopy was all i could say . People need to accept crime runs through every aspect of how we live . Irish water is a prime example of how to bankrupt a country yet be rewarded . I worked by the docks . Larry Goodman & the Beef Tribunal was a joke . I loaded rotten meat to it's Algerian Company which sold it onto Libya even though sanctions were in place . ? A lot of money made there .
The UAE really doesn't want to give up the Kinahans. I find it a bit odd. Several months ago, there was talk of them relocating to Iran but there they are still wandering around Dubai. Meanwhile, there are Garda officers stationed there twiddling their thumbs. C'mon Ireland and UAE, get your acts together.
Didn’t know that Google existed in the 80’s
Am sure mr kinhan knows what his doing👍
Never heard of them!
That’s the guy from inbetweeners….. surely they can catch him 😅

In the greater scheme of things, even if they had 1.5 billion invested in Dubai, which they likely don't is not the reason he's still free. However, if you have %'s of various businesses involving important people. And if you have made yourself important to intelligence agencies, they might delay arresting you for some time.

Target the source, he is not the source.
Wanted for what ! Haha 😅😅😅 ! The lads will be just fine , The irish State will be shown up for what it is if they spend one day in jail .
Someone must be on the take....if they really wanted him do you think they couldn't get him.
So ... not caught then 😂 they will never find them lot ....
Kinahan Sr for sure knows how to word things well, the way he expresses himself indeed is surprisingly sophisticated. He sounds like someone who at least has a degree from some university, instead of sounding like a crook who can't spell two words without making three mistakes not even to mention that grammar REALLY would not be his thing...
