BBC Panorama - "Boxing and the Mob"

[Counter-puncher]

Peter Fury's take at about 13:00 of this IFL interview:

former drug baron sticks up for drug baron.

A more inquisitive journalistic mind than Kugan’s

If that’s something you’re looking for mate I can help out, actually I can give you a simple recipe

Simply take:

1 macaque monkey
1 small glass of red wine
A portable camera
A sober macaque to hold the camera

There, you’ve got your start in journalism; you should be encouraged that with the starter kit above you’re already a cut above the journalistic standards of the existing market

[Monzon83]

Someone needs to tell Jamie Kavanagh and Gerry Hutch that Daniel Kinahan had absolutely nothing to do with all those murders of their relatives, it's just malicious gossip

Gossip that's being peddled by the media. Why doesn't he sue these newspapers and media outlets then?

Surely a man of his wealth would take some legal action over the wholly unsubstantiated allegations being made in the media about him?

[GreenLightning]

I kind of meant ‘nobody that matters’ which unfortunately is also true

Some of them did to Panorama apparently but only McGuigan would do it on camera

McGuigan was given a gun to defend himself against the RA he ain't gonna hide from the Kinahans. The cat is out of the bag anyway, anybody lays a hair on McGuigans head that isn't going to accomplish anything but even more cries for Kinahan to be destroyed

[GreenLightning]

There was also a shooting outside an U18 amateur show where a Hutch family member was fighting, two gunmen chased a Hutch associate and shot him but he escaped

[GreenLightning]

Jim Donegan was shot dead in front of school kids at a primary school in Belfast picking up his son, the gunman, dressed in a hi vis vest, could be seen in CCTV footage the previous week waiting amongst the school children for Donegan to show up.

But he only showed up the next week, where his patient killer approached him and put a full clip of ammunition into his head and body

This wasn't this guys first rodeo

'Police believe Kinahan associates paid the INLA to murder Jim Donegan in a row over cash'

INLA members were also allegedly involved in Gareth Hutches murder

[SticknMove]

Best there is no United Ireland until the paramilitaries stop dealing drugs and carving up criminal activities in sectarian lines disguised as politics. They serve no interest apart from their own.

another in a long line of pure coincidences

[margaret thatcher]

no covinctions bruh, no convictions

Irish laws must be very different to uk ones.

"We need people like Dan" | Amir Khan defends Kinahan

Former world champion and Olympic silver medallist Amir Khan has defended the involvement of Daniel Kinahan in boxing.

After Kinahan released a statement to British broadcaster Talksport yesterday denying involvement in criminality and confirming he was still involved in the sport, Khan tweeted:

"I've known Daniel for sometime, I have huge respect for what he's doing for boxing. We need people like Dan to keep the sport alive. One of the nicest guys I've met."

Khan's Twitter account has 2.1 million followers.

The former British boxer is an ex-light welterweight world champion.

He is also the WBC President in the Middle East.

Kinahan has no criminal convictions but was named in the High Court in 2018 as a senior figure in organised crime on an international scale.

Sunday World investigations editor Nicola Tallant spoke to OTB AM today about Kinahan's statement, describing it as 'jaw dropping'.

You can watch the full interview with Nicola and presenters Ger Gilroy and Eoin Sheahan here.

Some great replies on Twitter to the countless glowing references to Kinihan.... “People always refer to the negatives when talking about Fred West, nobody mentions the great work he did in construction”., and “He changes people’s lives, Yes, one minute they can breathe, the next, they can’t”.

He seems to like blaming the media, as if they made it all up.

Blatantly ignoring the fact that Interpol, Europol, DEA, FBI, MI5, MI6, Irish and Spanish police forces are all in agreement.

There is no smoke without fire and unless every single one of those organisations in wrong or lying this case seems pretty clear.

The lack of convictions is due to the fact that men like Kinahan are experts at covering their tracks.
Al Capone operated for impunity for years as the FBI could never get anything to stick. They had to do him for tax evasion in the end.

[Stevieaber]

The best glowing reference on Twitter is probably from Derry Matthews (our sport needs more people like Dan) who is also having a programme running from his gym helping young people cope with having an addict in the family. I shit you not.

Amir has also got something on his Twitter along the lines of shout out for the farmers. Presume he must mean poppy farmers.

Khan's family are from the Punjab originally, so that would make sense

anybody lays a hair on McGuigans head that isn't going to accomplish anything but even more cries for Kinahan to be destroyed

I hope Martin Scorsese reads this forum and takes inspiration from this idea for a terrifying scene.

A hair being very carefully laid upon the head of the man who dares speak out about the gangsters.

lol yeah I fucked that right up, mon we write it ourselves lads ffs make a mint

Amir Khan was always a few sandwiches short of a picnic but ffs THIS is the hill you come to fight on?

Does jordan hutch still box?

I remember he was a bit of an amateur prospect before uncle dan started the ethnic cleansing process on his family.

[Wee Tommy]

A good mate is signed to MTK he’s just put up a statement on social media saying he’s only had good dealings with DK and thinks he’s good for boxing.

My thoughts are unless there are charges and actual police attention on him then this show will likely be good for him. As in, it will serve his story of being persecuted in the media and give him a platform whereby lots of influential boxing people have publicly backed him.

He’s not leaving boxing and it doesn’t look like he’s getting done for any alleged crimes. I’ve read all the stuff that’s out there and spoke to folk who claim to be in the know and it’s actually five feuds all rolled into one lots of scores to be settled and revenge attacks. The Hutch family were as ball deep in crime as anyone else involved. The Byrnes are a major firm themselves. Then there is the Finglas and Drogheda, Mr Big and Mr Flashy stuff all intertwined. It’s some carry over there.
