Redacted FOI documents show how FBI opened investigations into Kinahan crime gang in 2018
While much of the information is withheld, it shows that the cartel had been in the crosshairs of the agency for at least seven years A crime blogger has published documents showing how the FBI opened investigations into the Kinahan crime gang as far back as 2018. The well-known 'Plastic Paddy' account published screenshots of the heavily-redacted files online, three years after a Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted. While much of the information is withheld, it shows that the crime gang had been in the crosshairs of the agency for at least seven years. In the files related to their investigations into the 'Kinahan Criminal Enterprise' there are references to 'drug trafficking' and 'money laundering', as well as 'potential targets' of the gang. The documents also include a profile of 'Haizum Trading' which we revealed last year to be an umbrella company for three of five companies shut down in the wake of sanctions imposed on the Kinahan cartel by US authorities in April 2022. We reported how a network of front companies had been set up by exiled mob boss Daniel Kinahan and his brother Christopher Jnr to launder their drug money in the United Arab Emirates. News in 90 Seconds - June 17 Just two years after the US imposed sanctions on the cartel, a total of five of the Kinahans' Emirates-based companies had their licences cancelled. Three of the five companies shut down since the sanctions were imposed on April 12, 2022, do not appear on the US sanctions list but can be directly tied to the Kinahans through papers filed with the UAE's Economic Ministry. These three companies operated under the umbrella title 'Haizum Trading'. A profile of Haizum General Trading that appears in the FBI documents describes itself as a 'new trading company based in Dubai United Arab Emirates' 'We're a young company but between our staff we have amassed more than 100 years of trading experience,' it states. The profile reveals how they specialise in commodity trading, 'especially food commodities and we only trade physical commodities' with a 'client base in the Middle East, South Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe.' A trove of documents obtained by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists in 2022 revealed how the ownership of the companies was structured to comply with UAE law which then dictated that a 50 per cent share of companies set up in the UAE must be owned by an Emirati. The documents show how Daniel and Christopher Kinahan Jnr planned to open an import-and-export food business, with a projected profit of $6.8 million, operating out of the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC). One of the redacted files A due diligence report showed how authorities in Dubai branded Daniel and Christopher Kinahan Jnr's business plan as 'low risk' adding that it was 'OK to proceed'. The DMCC area of Dubai is a free trade zone that was established in 2002. Another branch of their business, in a separate jurisdiction of the UAE, would trade clothing and textiles. Their business plan described how 'Haizum General Trading Co LLC' would import food from Brazil, Thailand, India, China and East Africa to Persian Gulf countries and beyond. 'We also hope to eventually expand into the trading of edible oil, pasta, and even poultry, if we happen to line up potential leads, prospective clients, and profitable deals for these products,' their business plan read. 'We plan to incorporate the company with a physical office from the get go, as we expect to employ a workforce of seven employees,' it added. They planned to make $6.8 million in the first year, and said that the shareholders had several other 'supporting' businesses in the UAE, and were 'keen on expanding the size and scale of their operations in the coming year.' According to records, the reason they chose to set up operations in the DMCC was to have an 'international sales office, promote the Haizum business and trade in various agro-commodities all over the world.' It also showed that Daniel was to own 30pc of their LLC company, with 19pc owned by Christopher Jnr and the rest by a UAE national, Hadif Al Ktebi. A copy of the contract, obtained by ICIJ, said that the company had a starting capital of approximately $100,000. Haizum International General Trading LLC was registered by the Kinahans with the Department of Economy and Tourism in Dubai on July 10, 2018, the same year that the FBI opened an investigation into the crime gang. Just one year before, in May 2017, Daniel Kinahan's wedding at the seven-star Burj al Arab in Dubai became a focus point for investigators. Attended by friends and associates of Kinahan, as well as senior underworld figures, the party took place as Dutch police began to investigate claims by a witness called Nabil B who linked underworld mobsters Ridouan Taghi, Ricardo Riquelme Vega, aka El Rico, caged assassin Noufal Fassih and Italian Camorra boss Raffaele Imperiale - who all attended the festivities. On the run Taghi had attended the wedding of Kinahan and it was later heard that when lawyers travelled to Dubai to meet him, undercover police watched as Daniel Kinahan arrived at the hotel reception instead. The manhunt for Taghi only began in early 2018 - six months after the wedding and after officers had started to get a grasp of how Taghi, Fassih and El Rico had joined together as a national force in the Netherlands and as a global force with Kinahan and Imperiale, along with a Bosnian outfit known as the Tito and Dino cartel. Infamous Mocro mafia boss and Kinahan Cartel associate Taghi is currently locked up in a high security prison from where he is appealing his convictions for murder. Dutch criminal Fassih, who was arrested in a Kinahan safehouse on Baggot Street in 2016, was extradited to Holland where he was jailed for various offences including ordering gang hits and political assassinations. Since he was extradited from his desert bolthole in Dubai to his native Italy in March 2022 Imperiale has been spilling the beans on his gangster pals as a super grass, telling investigators how one of them 'gave me 300 kilos of cocaine'. Meanwhile, Daniel Kinahan's right-hand man, Sean McGovern, was returned to Ireland last month, when he was charged with the murder of Noel 'Duck Egg' Kirwan at the height of the Hutch/Kinahan feud in 2016. The father of two, who was extradited from Dubai in May, was also charged with directing a criminal organisation involved in the conspiracy to murder Hutch associate James 'Mago' Gately.

Dept of Transport spent €600,000 on revamp of entrance and small plaza at Dublin headquarters
THE DEPARTMENT OF Transport spent almost €600,000 on works to revamp the front entrance and a small plaza at its headquarters on Leeson Lane in Dublin. Figures obtained by The Journal show the works went €39,000 over their initial estimate, despite a 30% contingency of almost €105,000 being included in a proposed cost breakdown in 2021. Internal documents released under the Freedom of Information Act show that the upgrade was requested following a security review in 2020, as well as a desire to revamp the entrance for the first time in more than 20 years. The upgrade involved overhauling a roughly 250 square metre plaza in front of the department, the removal of an 'unsightly' 20-year-old water feature, as well as the installation of automatic doors, new lights and flagpoles. The work was initially expected to cost €471,000 when it was proposed in 2021, but estimates grew as design plans were firmed up and the renovation got under way. A breakdown of the initial outline costs in 2021 shows that €349,000 was budgeted for construction work, €104,940 was budgeted as a 30% contingency allowance, €61,390 was budgeted for VAT at 13.5%, while €30,000 were added for design fees and €3,500 was budgeted for art (based on a 1% value required to be set aside for such projects). Specific costs included €70,500 for the installation of four lights on the outdoor plaza and €41,600 for landscaping and the installation of new trees. Officials had initially proposed a contingency of 15%, but by November 2021 suggested the 30% contingency was required due to the Covid-19 pandemic and Brexit. When the project was mostly completed in November 2023, an additional €142,295 was added to the cost to carry out additional works, including fixing a leak. In a response to a Parliamentary Question earlier this year, Transport Minister Darragh O'Brien confirmed that the final cost to the department was close to €596,000. The outdoor plaza at the Department of Transport's headquarters Andrew Walsh / The Journal Andrew Walsh / The Journal / The Journal Advertisement 'Skateboarders and loiterers' Documents also outlined a number of reason why the work was requested, including a need to 'discourage skateboarders and loiterers' and remove an 'ugly eyesore' in front of the building. A briefing written in January 2021 cited a security review that said the front and side doors could not be 'immediately locked down in the event that protestors swarmed the entrance'. It also said that a new arrangement meant that the side door of the department was left open from time to time. 'The delivery of goods to the building often means that side door is jammed open for ease of delivery,' a department official said. 'This is both a security risk and is creating a draughty environment for our services officers, so has become a health and wellbeing issue.' The author of the briefing also justified the revamp by citing the effects of people drinking take away pints at the department's plaza as a result of the pandemic. 'They are also using our laneway as an outdoor toilet. The remaining rubbish left behind is also an issue and we have increased our cleaning arrangements to meet this,' they said. The briefing asked whether fencing could be installed at the perimeter walls to prevent them being used as seating areas, noting: 'I've seen cement ball installations in Howth to deter car parking, so something like that might work?' There was also a complaint about 'evening visits' from skateboarders using the area to 'practice their skills', adding: 'All very well until someone hurts themselves there in some way.' On foot of this, they requested 'options for a less flat/angular appearance to discourage skateboarders and loiterers'. The briefing also noted that a former water feature at the front of the plaza had 'become an ugly eyesore', and that the flag poles 'are very high and poorly lit'. The work was later approved and completed in 2023. Readers like you are keeping these stories free for everyone...
