Kinahan Extradition Hearing: Irish Police Close In

0:00On April 28, Daniel Kanahan, the 48-year-old head of the Kanahan cartel, faces a Dubai judge this week for a net-tradition hearing after his arrest earlier this month. Irish police have chased him for nearly 20 years, and now they have solid evidence to charge him with directing a crime gang. High-level talks between Irish Guardi, the defense forces, and the Department of Justice aimed to get him back safely to face trial, possibly by late, May or early June. Justice say Kanahan will fight the extradition, buying maybe 30 days with an appeal, but there are no real ways to stop it long-term. Dubai authorities want him gone almost as badly as Ireland does. The case builds on encrypted phone data from busted cartel members, revealing coordination of drugs, violence, and more. Guardi moved fast, watching him just two days before the arrest. Guardi Commissioner Justin Kelly publicly called out Kanahan and vowed to hunt down his father Christi Senior and brother Christi Junior for the murder, and mayhem they've
