Credit to the journalist who went after him. He probably won’t be allowed back!

Why don’t the reporter do an investigation on the Kinhans himself? You can be a bad guy and do good things at the same time. Daniel is going to hell for sure, but he’s also helped a lot of individuals in their careers, regardless of wether there is a motive behind that or not.


He is fvcked though now the USA are after him. Has this come about through Biden just saying yet to anybody Irish do you think?

In an interesting parallel to Jimmy Savile, in the recent Netflix documentary (which is very good), one theory why Jimmy was so heavily involved in charity work was not just for access to vulnerable victims, but also his catholic religion; the good deeds trying to balance the bad in his head. I’d expect at some point soon the UAE will do a mutually beneficial deal with the US and hand him over. Life imprisonment, which some might say he’s earned about ten times over.

Bob arum and Sam Jones when asked about involvement with DK

The nerve of Jon Carroll having a Bobby Sands quote on his back, and then sucking a major heroin dealers dick

Its like the Mick Conlon entrance these things don't compute

Daniel Kinahan must have cult leader like charisma to be such a great advisor, he is the Dalai Lama of shady background figures with vague nondescript roles

That influence must have just been willed into existence. Nothing to do with narcotics money and a big ego

Daniels day may have finally come

Kinahan name been about a long time

The recent murder of David Byrne and the gunning down of Eddie Hutch four days later have brought the public’s focus like never before onto the international drugs gang led by Christy Kinahan.

Byrne, a 33-year-old father of two, was a member of the gang and was killed with men aligned to it were attacked by a group of five gunmen at a boxing tournament weigh-in at the Regency Hotel in Drumcondra.

And when Eddie Hutch, a 59-year-old father of five, was shot dead at his home on Poplar Row, Dublin 1, last Monday week, Kinahan gang members were nominated as suspects.

The same crime syndicate, with a leadership based around Marbella in Spain but which also many members in Dublin, was also believed to have been behind the shooting dead of Eddie Hutch’s nephew, Gary Hutch (34), in Spain last September.

Those three murders have been well documented in recent days because they are now believed to represent the opening phase of a tit-for-tat gun feud between Gary Hutch’s associates in Dublin and the wider Kinahan gang.

However, a lesser known fact is that the Kinahan gang is suspected of responsibility for at least six murders, three of which were carried out in Dublin and three in Spain.

Victim: Paddy Doyle

When and where: February 4th, 2008, Spain

Status: Unsolved

The Dubliner (27) was gunned down on a Monday afternoon while traveling as a passenger in a car driven by friend and fellow criminal Gary Hutch. The men were both from Dublin’s north inner city - Doyle from Portland Place and Hutch from nearby Champions Ave.

Their involvement in serious organised crime had taken them to Spain, where they were closely associated with the Christy Kinahan crime empire. Doyle was shot shortly after he had left a gym.

He was in the BMW 4X4 vehicle in Cancelada, near Marbella, on the Costa del Sol, driven by Hutch. The occupant of another car pulled up alongside and opened fire.

At least five shots hit the BMW carrying the Irish men. Four went through the windscreen and two went through the passenger door. Hutch lost control and the vehicle hit a lamp post on the side of the road, coming to a standstill. Doyle got out of the car and tried to run.

However, the gunman opened fire again and hit Doyle twice in the head, fatally wounding him.

Gardaí believe he was murdered after crossing the Kinahan gang after arriving in Spain in late 2005. Doyle had left Ireland on the run from both the Garda and his criminal enemies.

He was linked to one of the gangs based in the neighbouring Dublin suburbs of Crumlin and Drimnagh that were locked in a bitter feud for more than a decade.

On November 13th, 2005, when Darren Geoghegan (26) and Gavin Byrne (30) were shot dead in a feud related attack in a car in Firhouse, south Dublin - Doyle emerged as the chief suspect. The men were believed to have been murdered as part of an internal row within their own crew.

And just two days later, when rival gang member Noel Roche (27), Drimnagh, was spotted leaving a Phil Collins concert, gunman Doyle and a driver were dispatched to find him and shoot him dead.

They caught up with him on the night when Doyle shot Roche dead in traffic on Clontarf Road, Clontarf.

Paddy Doyle’s brother, Barry Doyle (30), is also a gangland killer. He is currently serving a life sentence for the shooting dead of rugby player Shane Geoghegan in a case of mistaken identity in Limerick in 2008. He was paid by the McCarthy-Dundon gang to shoot dead one of their rivals but mistook Mr Geoghegan for the intended target.

Victim: Eamon Dunne

When and where: April 23rd, 2010, Dublin

Status: Unsolved

Shot dead in a pub in north Dublin, Eamon Dunne’s murder by the Kinahan gang symbolised perfectly its control over Irish organised crime.

Dunne, a 34-year-old from Dunsoughly Drive, Finglas, was the most feared criminal the underworld had seen for decades; perhaps sharing that title with Limerick’s Wayne Dundon, the head of the McCarthy-Dundon gang.

Shot dead in a pub in north Dublin, Eamon Dunne’s murder by the Kinahan gang symbolised perfectly its control over Irish organised crime.

Dunne, a 34-year-old from Dunsoughly Drive, Finglas, was the most feared criminal the underworld had seen for decades; perhaps sharing that title with Limerick’s Wayne Dundon, the head of the McCarthy-Dundon gang.


Dunne lost his life in a gun attack while he sat drinking at the Fassaugh House pub in Cabra where a 40th birthday party was underway. The attack was planned and executed with near military precision.

Two gunmen were involved, one of whom walked up to the seated Dunne and shot him fatally at close range.

His accomplice stood guard at the door, warning everyone to keep back; his firearm at the ready to shoot anyone who tried to tackle the killer.

Dunne had taken over the Finglas-based drugs and armed robbery gang when its former leader Marlo Hyland was shot dead at a house in Finglas in December, 2006.

Hyland, who like Christy Kinahan was originally from Cabra, was shot dead by his own gang - Dunne included - after he became the subject of unprecedented Garda and media scrutiny.

In the last year of Hyland’s life drugs with an estimated street value of €15 million were seized from his henchmen.

About 30 of them were arrested and charged under Operation Oak, established in 2005 to bring Hyland down. But when Dunne took over from Hyland, he drew even more attention to the gang and to the drugs trade in Dublin generally, by arranging the shooting dead of an unprecedented 12 people in the 40 months he led the gang.

That rate of killing was unprecedented and completely destabilised the Dublin-centred Irish drugs market that Kinahan’s gang supplied and which, by 2010, was under pressure as recreational drug users’ disposable incomes collapsed during the recession.

Interesting. Looks like Eurosport are still showing this Friday’s Probellum show.

He's American. You could, rightly or wrongly, conclude that he concerned that MTK could be targeted by sanctions and criminal proceedings. He's heeded the warning and jacked.

And he’s just been announced as joining Probellum. Whether that helps him in the long run is open to question.

Much safer with Probellum, they have absolutely no contact with Daniel Kinahan aka @Probellum

Where has that been announced??????

Just come through on my Twitter, but looking back at it, it would appear to be a piss take

Daily Mail are reporting that Discovery/Eurosport have terminated the deal with Probellum. Originally had 2 fight nights left on their 5 show deal starting with Friday’s show being the first of the two.

I wonder if Premier Sports or allegedly will pick it up. Certainly not a good sign for the fighters but it’s the right decision I think.

Agree. He's still up against it now though. Pressure is on in UAE so he'll be thinking of upping sticks. Not good when you have a family.

Yep, agreed. Them staying there is untenable after this move.

The advisor needed an advisor. I was shaking my head with every pic/shoutout.
