This is how one of Europe's deadliest drug gangs Infiltrated world of boxing by vices only nine minutes Feel like this could be longer Nevertheless, let's The scene of the latest hotchkin and feud gun attack I remember that the shootout two years since this feud erupted in the capital It's every bit as dangerous and frightening February 2016 It's early afternoon and the way in before a boxing tournament at the Regency Hotel in Dublin Fighters manages members of the media and the public are milling around All of a sudden the sound of shots Two men stormed the hotel lobby wearing mock Irish police uniforms and blasting AK-47s For someone to be shot dead in a boxing way and you know, it was remarkable He was spotted by the three armed people who were dressed as Cardi and they shot him there and then It was a chaotic but carefully orchestrated attack that left one dead and fell short of its intended target Daniel Kinnehan the day-to-day head of the Kinnehan Cartel a criminal syndicate set up by his father In the late 1990s, which is now one of the largest in the world It's a never-ending page turner this story really Daniel has overseen the family operation from a Dublin drug dealing gang to a globe Spanning operation now thought to be worth one billion euros The Regency shooting was not simply an eruption of violence from Dublin's criminal underworld It revealed the extent to which it had spread well beyond Ireland and especially into the world of boxing Welcome to the business of crime in this episode We're looking at how an Irish crime syndicate has escaped authorities for decades And how its boss became one of the most influential figures in British boxing The Kinnehan Cartel I know all about the Kinnehan Cartel and all of that The boxing side of it just because of that where it happened I kind of knew but like I never knew in full death It's always been a family affair Daniel Kinnehan's father Christopher better known as Christie Was a notorious Irish drug dealer who earned the nickname the Dapper Don Christie Kinnehan was caught very quickly as he moved into the heroin game and caught on a significant amount of drugs at that time Despite arrests and stints in jail Kinnehan was able to enlarge and expand his operations offshore with the help of his two sons Christopher junior and Daniel by 2010 the so-called Kinnehan organized crime group was based in Marbella in southern Spain They are the most significant suppliers of drugs to europe they Were dealing directly with the south americans they were buying from And they had control of the route into europe through africa yet so far all have evaded justice When you got control of routes routes and ports and stuff like that you're going to be big allegedly To a multi-year police investigation Spanish police moved against Kinnehan and his associates in may 2010 An operation involving some 700 officers in five countries Europe all coordinated a strike against them called operation shovel and that Really put them kind of on the world stage for the first time up until then we were Talking about a local group of Irish drug dealers who've made their way out to Spain More than 30 arrests were made plus several seizures as properties were raided But allegedly the Kinnehans have been tipped off the Kinnehans Had been bribing some local cops and had possibly got a tip off of course They got an unlimited amount of money. Of course they got people working Inside, you know, of course they got like Double agents that these raids were coming and one way or another they got bailed within two years They were back in business bigger more powerful than ever So-called operation shovel only came to a handful of minor charges But none for the top Kinnehan trio Daniel Kinnehan still has no convictions at all That's even after his former right-hand man Gary Hutch was shot dead near Marbella in 2015 after a falling out Two further killings as the attempt by the Kinnehan crime cartel to wipe out the Hutch family continues The attack on the region that was letting it go. I don't think I've ever seen like live footage though Kinsey hotel a few months later was Immediately understood to have been a bid for revenge for Hutch's murder The Kinnehan Hutch field continued to escalate amassing a body count to rival the most bloody gang conflicts in Ireland's history While some key figures of the cartel have been taken off the streets Daniel Kinnehan continues to operate in plain sight Not only that he has raised his public profile becoming a major player in the world of pro boxing Daniel Kinnehan had stayed in the background. He would probably be very safe now He'd been a very powerful position after moving to Marbella Daniel Kinnehan set up a boxing gym called MGM with pro boxer Matthew Macklin With top-of-the-line training facilities in good financial terms of management MGM gained a reputation as a credible base Becoming home to world champions Liam Smith and Billy Joe Saunders You know I took a lot of advice and a very personal friend of mine Daniel drugs paid better than fights So most likely it's I feel like for the most part like I've heard all of this before the veneer of legitimacy And even the public respect that drew Kinnehan to boxing I don't think that making money out of boxing was the prime motivation It was laundering luck Kinnehan's reputation You know it was the definitive example of sports washing that he wanted to be seen As a guy who taken over boxing and the guy who cleaned up boxing, which is very ironic given who he is And you know the fact he comes from a very dirty trade In august 2014 boxer Jamie Moore was shot at Kinnehan's home And what was thought to be a botched attack on Kinnehan more survived What I mean about scare is Being being lay on the floor bleeding to death Thinking I'm never going to see me fucking wife and kids again Not long afterwards a Kinnehan associate was gunned down in an Irish bar in Marbella That intensified scrutiny on Daniel Kinnehan in MGM and in 2017 he stepped down from the company MGM rebranded as M wasn't the lady has some lady picked up as well like And then they got her out of there too TK got near boss blaming bad publicity. Okay, the initials about to change the name of the company has had to change but it's uh Everyone everyone knows that that's the same We're the same people that were behind the MGM But Kinnehan remained deeply involved in the sport becoming personal advisor to world heavyweight champion Tyson fury Less than a year after the newly rebranded MTK cut ties with Kinnehan Fury signed with the company and when in 2020 the boxing world went wild over the news that fury would finally be facing Anthony Joshua Kinnehan was credited as having got it over the line. Hello there. I'm just off to get off the phone with Daniel Kinnehan Uh, he just informed me that the biggest fight in British boxing history has just been agreed MTK became one of the biggest boxing management companies in Europe Until it disbanded in 2022 somebody always trying to tell me something about Tyson fury. I'm like, bro. I'm too and I'm too I'm too deep and British and gypsy and all the culture over there But you're not going to tell me somebody from the usa from to beat him. I don't care what Deontay Wilder salute. I love your story Don't get in the ring with that man again. It's not even going to be you know what I'm saying You got to get you got to hit him square on knock him down three times in one round to win because it ain't other than that You're not going to beat him ever I don't see Tyson has Tyson fury ever a series What's Tyson fury's boxing record? 31 and oh I don't see him losing. He got one draw Oh A boxing promotion company with links to Daniel not not the way the gypsies be fighting like I just don't see it Kinnehan has announced it's to cease operations at the end of the month But somebody like Kinnehan should never have been involved in the sport She'd never been involved in any sport The thing is it's only boxing. They probably would have allowed it to happen and that's an indictment of boxing The official line from Daniel Kinnehan's lawyers is that he has no criminal record or convictions And that wild allegations about him being a mob boss are without basis But after decades of investigations and dozens of deaths authorities might finally be closing in on the kinnehan cartel They're wanted and it's a case of The clock is they're not You see the kinnehan cartel You know I'm saying even if they'd government death clothes ain't on that cartel You know what's gonna happen There'll be a power struggle There'll be a deep deep power struggle Because you know somebody's gonna want that territory somebody's gonna want that money And they might end up even worse off than they were before sticking for the Thomas bomber Kavanaugh was jailed for 21 years for his role in a plot to import drugs worth 36 million euros And in april 2022 the us placed sanctions on the cartel the united states department of state Is pleased to announce a reward of up to five million dollars For information leading to the financial disruption Of the ktco Or the arrest and convictions of its leaders and just this september Johnny morrisse was arrested in spain after being publicly named by the u.s. Treasury as an alleged money laundre And the key member of the cartel The boxing world has felt somebody got that five million up out of there And spain they was not he here don't he money lenders don't he learned the money for them? Give me more five the impact to with u.s. Authorities warning that anyone Still involved with kinnahan needs to cut ties or risk being implicated in its investigation. I wouldn't surprise me at all if if When the authorities do move for them they end up going on trial in america rather than ireland or the uk or spain Like i might well be the americans Who bring them to justice they are currently based in the united arab emirates Which lacks an extradition treaty with the u.s. Authorities abiding their time But all will be hoping this will be their last round in the ring with the kinnahan cartel Yeah, they all leave a like comment i'm done Don't forget to check the description the link tree See if you like participated anything down there
