High Court orders seizure of cartel boss Daniel Kinahan's luxury mansion
Summary
The High Court granted the Criminal Assets Bureau a Section 3 order to seize a five‑bedroom luxury mansion in Saggart, west Dublin, which the court deemed to be proceeds of crime linked to cartel boss Daniel Kinahan, 45. The property, valued at €750,000 in 2013 and likely worth more now, was described as "effectively owned" by Kinahan. In an affidavit, Detective Chief Superintendent Seamus Boland alleged that Kinahan sanctioned several murders in the Hutch/Kinahan feud and was involved in drug trafficking, weapons importation and money laundering. CAB presented evidence that Kinahan had lived in the house, including a passport and a Ryanair boarding pass in his name, and that €3,850 in cash was found in a hidden compartment. The court was satisfied that Kinahan and Thomas "Bomber" Kavanagh were in control of the property and the cash, that they had been duly served, and that no evidence of a contrary claim was presented.
