Dutch national arrested during Kinahan-linked raid appears before extradition court

Summary

Naoufal Fassih, a 36‑year‑old Dutch national of Moroccan origin, was arrested in April during a raid on a luxury apartment on Baggot Street that Gardaí believed was linked to the Kinahan criminal gang. He appeared before the High Court on a European Arrest Warrant (EAW) seeking his surrender to the Netherlands, where he faces charges of money laundering, assault and possession of false documentation. The court confirmed that the man in attendance was the same individual named in the new EAW and remanded him in custody until 27 July. In April, at Dublin District Court, Fassih was charged with possessing a false passport and identity card, an offence under the Immigration Act and a minor drugs charge for simple possession of cannabis. He had previously pleaded guilty to possessing a false passport and cannabis at Cloverhill District Court.
