Receiver appointed to luxury mansion 'effectively owned' by cartel boss Daniel Kinahan
Summary
The High Court ordered a Criminal Assets Bureau receiver to take control of a west Dublin property near Tallaght that was deemed to be the proceeds of drug‑trafficking by cartel boss Daniel Kinahan. The receiver, Mr Kevin McMeel, was appointed under Section 7 of the Criminal Assets Bureau Act to sell the house on the open market and manage the €3,850 found there. The property, a five‑bedroom house at Coldwater Lakes in Saggart, was valued at €750‑800k in 2013 and was found uninhabited when CAB visited on 25 October 2022. No respondent claimed ownership. The receiver will hold the sale proceeds in a nominated bank account and, after seven years, the funds will be forfeited to the State. The court noted that CAB had served papers on Kinahan and Thomas Kavanagh, who were aware of the proceedings but had not contested the order.
