Sunday World
About this episode

Almost a year since the dramatic US sanctions of the Kinahan Organisation and it’s leadership Bosnian mob boss Edin Gacinin has been named alongside the Irish mob as a business partner now under the same financial restrictions.


Gacinin who heads the Tito and Dino cartel is originally from Sarajevo but lived most of his life in the Netherlands. His outfit formed part of the so called European Super Cartel headed up by Daniel Kinahan.


So what does it mean and what effects are the sanctions having 12 months on? Will the United Arab Emirates ever hand up Daniel Kinahan, his father Christy Snr and brother Christopher Junior and why is his right-hand man Sean McGovern still living freely in Dubai despite a warrant issued here for him on murder charges.


Nicola speaks with Niall Donald about the international effort to dismantle a trans-global cartel and the progress being made across the world against Ireland’s most prolific organised crime group.
