Major drug supply cut off to Ireland and Europe after Irish Mafia boss arrested | Irish News | IrishCentral
Major drug supply cut off to Ireland and Europe after Irish Mafia boss arrested | Irish News | IrishCentral: "Spanish police and Interpol detained over 30 people across Europe last week. Such is Kinahan's influence on Ireland's drug trade that the police believe that there may be a massive drug shortage in Ireland in the coming months.
Police fear unprecedented gangland violence as Irish drug gangs engage in a bloody power struggle.
It is believed that Kinahan neutralized practically all his competition in Ireland and had offered drug gangs cheaper drugs if they worked together and stopped tit for tat gangland murders.
The police began their operation in 2008 after police seized cannabis worth $14 million in a house beside an isolated bog in Kildare.
Kinahan had set up several bogus companies that specialized in 'importing' foodstuffs.
Using a small army of trucks, the 'food companies' distributed millions of dollars worth of drugs to Ireland's drugs gangs.
Spanish police have arrested several solicitors that helped launder Kinahan's drug money.
Brazilian police have seized Kinahan's property portfolio, which they believe is worth over $700million."
