Daniel Kinahan, a suspected crime boss and one of the world's most wanted men, spent his first night in custody in Ireland following his extradition from Dubai. He appeared before Dublin's Special Criminal Court on Sunday for a brief hearing, where he was remanded in custody until October 5th. Kinahan is charged with directing the activities of a criminal organization between October 2015 and April 2017. During the hearing, Kinahan indicated that he would not be applying for bail. The Irish Prison Service had procured a bulletproof and bombproof van to transport him due to his high-risk status. The arrest and extradition operation were the result of close cooperation between Irish and UAE authorities in combating transnational organized crime. Kinahan was wanted in Ireland for his alleged involvement in a long-running gangland feud that claimed 18 lives, as well as being linked to numerous murders and drug trafficking activities worldwide. The extradition agreement between the UAE and Ireland was previously used to extradite another senior member of Kinahan's criminal organization.
