Kinahan Returns for Trial | Belfast News

Daniel Kinahan, the notorious Irish crime boss returned from Dubai after ten years in exile, is set to face trial in Ireland — appearing in court himself, claiming he lacked time to hire a lawyer. His case stems from a 2016 assassination attempt at a boxing event that ignited a deadly feud. Rumors swirled that MP and solicitor John Finucane might be his counsel, even sparking claims he’d visited Kinahan in prison — but Sinn Féin has confirmed Finucane is not involved. Kinahan is reportedly weighing legal teams in Belfast, including KRW Law and Phoenix Law, both experienced in non-jury trials. He’s currently held in high-security isolation, having converted to Islam and requesting religious materials — despite being a model inmate. His final legal team choice may remain secret until his October court appearance in Dublin.
