 | Liam Byrne, a key cog of the Kinahan crime gang, has claimed his extradition to the UK from Spain should be rejected because he risks "inhumane and degrading treatment" in a U.K. prison. Byrne's lawyer said there is a 'real risk' that his client's fundamental right to 'physical and moral integrity' will be in danger if his extradition to the UK proceeds. Byrne was lassoed at a Spanish restaurant in June 2023. His lawyer says extradition would violate human rights because the only evidence against his client are hacked messages on encrypted communications network Encrochat. A separate extradition appeal for Kinahan gangster Jack Kavanagh was also held last week. Spanish prosecutors backed the extradition of both men, who are wanted on gun trafficking charges. Kavanagh was arrested at Malaga Airport on May 30th while in-transit from Dubai to Turkey. |
| As for the Kinahans, most are still thought to be in the UAE. Daniel Kinahan, 46, his brother Christopher, 42, and associate Sean McGovern, 37, are holed up in the country. The net is apparently closing with Ireland's Justice Minister recently promising to extradite them after high level meetings with UAE officials. See ----->US sanctions Kinahan Cartel |  |
