Investigators believe the arrest of Byrne on a Spanish sun isle on Sunday puts even more pressure on Kinahan
Cartel king Daniel Kinahan has been dealt another hammer blow – after Spanish cops nabbed his key lieutenant Liam Byrne.
That arrest operation against Kavanagh was led by the United Kingdom’s National Crime Agency – the same unit that helped Spanish cops arrest Byrne in Majorca on Sunday. The operation, that began in March 2016, saw the Criminal Assets Bureau target him – including a car business he was involved in in south west Dublin.
There was a lengthy High Court wrangle aimed at what CAB said was the Byrne Organised Crime Gang - with Liam its leader. "Kinahan will have to get someone to run the European business for him now, and that won’t be easy," a source said.
