Suspected Irish crime boss arrested - UK & Ireland, Breaking News - Belfasttelegraph.co.uk: "Christy Kinahan, dubbed the 'Irish Godfather', was held with his two sons when dozens of armed police descended on their 6 million euro (£5.2 million) mansion in Malaga, Spain.
The 53-year-old Irish-born British passport holder is alleged to be the kingpin of a global crime conspiracy which traded in drugs, guns and laundered hundreds of millions of euros in dirty cash.
Sources said Kinahan was one of the top targets for international crime-fighting agencies, including the Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca), the Security Services, Europol and Irish An Garda Siochana. More than 750 police officers were involved in the raids co-ordinated by police in London, Dublin and Malaga.
The Kinahans were among 20 people, including four Spanish lawyers, held by Spanish National Police during raids at properties on the Costa del Sol, an area notorious for its links to crime"
