Daniel Kinahan has until October to respond to CAB seizure bid

Summary

Daniel Kinahan has until October to decide whether to challenge the Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) in its attempt to seize a south Dublin property linked to him and jailed businessman Jim Mansfield Junior. The High Court was informed that attempts have been made to serve papers at addresses linked to Kinahan in Dubai, but confirmation of receipt is pending. If Kinahan does not respond, Mr Justice Michael MacGrath will hold a hearing on October 3 to consider the CAB's request for the property to be seized. Thomas 'Bomber' Kavanagh, an associate of Kinahan, has already been served papers while in prison in the UK. Mansfield and his brother Patrick Joseph Mansfield have waived any claim over the property. It is alleged that Kinahan and Kavanagh provided Mansfield Jnr with €4.5 million in suitcases, which was to be invested in property for the cartel. The deal collapsed during the economic downturn, but it is alleged that Mansfield Jnr later repaid them by giving them a house in Saggart. The CAB proceedings were initiated to seize property in Dublin linked to Kinahan and Mansfield Jnr. Last February, the Special Criminal Court jailed Mansfield Jnr in an unrelated case for 18 months for ordering the destruction of CCTV footage showing him with a former employee on the morning the employee was kidnapped by republican terrorists. The court noted that Mansfield Jnr 'stood and watched' as his former security guard was taken by the kidnappers and 'placed in great danger'. Presiding judge Mr Justice Alexander Owens stated that Mansfield Jnr's actions fell into the category of 'foolish and selfish criminality' and that he sought to distance himself from involvement with the kidnappers.
