A former boxing promoter, previously identified in court as the head of an international drug cartel, is now facing extradition proceedings.

Senior Kinahan figure Sean McGovern has been sentenced to 24 years in prison, with expectations to serve at least 16 years. McGovern was linked to at least five murder plots, including an attempt on 'The Monk'.

Secret messages exchanged within the Kinahan leadership during their feud with the Hutch gang have revealed a chilling plan by Sean McGovern to kill Noel 'Duck Egg' Kirwan, described as an 'easy target,' to restore a hitman's confidence.

A court has been told that the bid to extradite Kinahan gangster Peader Keating to the UK is 'grossly unfair.' Keating is currently serving an 11-year sentence for his role in a failed attempt to kill Hutch gang rival James 'Mago' Gately.

A top Kinahan gang member reportedly considered targeting a rival's daughter around the time of the Regency Hotel attack. This information was revealed during a recent sentence hearing.

One of the most senior figures in the Kinahan Organised Crime Group, McGovern, has pleaded guilty at the Special Criminal Court. He admitted to directing a criminal gang in relation to the murder of one man and the surveillance of another.

Jason Bonney (55) and Paul Murphy (64), getaway drivers in the 2016 Regency Hotel attack where Kinahan gang member David Byrne was killed, have failed in their appeal to have their prison sentences reduced. The judge stated they were 'far from peripheral' to the events.

A leader of the Kinahan organised crime group reportedly described their feud with the Hutch group as "personal" and swore on his baby's life that he would not cease the conflict, according to court testimony.

Sean McGovern's barrister informed the Special Criminal Court that significant progress has been made between legal teams, indicating that a trial date might not ultimately be required for the senior Kinahan gang associate.
