Kinahan gang: Sean McGovern facing extradition from UAE

On Thursday, An Garda Síochána (the Irish police force) said it “welcomed” the arrest of an Irish national in the UAE.

“An Garda Síochána has developed major international partnerships in our efforts to target transnational organised crime groups,” it said.

“Our relationship with the authorities in the United Arab Emirates is valued and one which we will continue to develop.”

The leaders of the Kinahan crime gang, which originated in Dublin, are believed to be based in the UAE.

Last October, Garda Commissioner Drew Harris met senior UAE police officers in Dublin as part of an international investigation into the Kinahan gang.

The delegation’s visit came one day after Minister for Justice Helen McEntee discussed the possibility of a bilateral treaty on extradition with her UAE counterpart.

The previous month, Commissioner Harris had met authorities in Dubai to discuss ways to tackle transnational crime.
