Welcome to Dubai, the new Costa del Crime, where money talks... and extradition is practically unheard of

Daniel Kinahan has a Dubai resident’s card and can operate freely in the city as he tries to distance himself from his suspected crime links, we can reveal.

Like countless others the Kinahans used to bunker down in the Costa del Sol and they are still lapping up the sun – but these days their choice of hideaway is Dubai.

The city with a tower-filled skyline, a Ferrari in every car park and a sparkling nightlife hides a dark underbelly of expat crooks, drug dealing and money laundering.

An Irish Sunday Mirror probe today reveals reports of airport suitcases full of money, shady business deals and mafia bosses overseeing killings and extortion while using corrupt influence to evade the law.

It is a city where cash is king and where extradition is rare... a perfect landing place for the runaway crook.

The Kinahans shifted their base from Spain to Dubai after becoming embroiled in a bloody turf war with the rival Hutch gang.

The deadly feud claimed 18 victims – though a Garda crackdown appears to have halted the killings for now. As paranoid Kinahan henchmen complain of being left out in the cold thousands of miles away, Daniel Kinahan, 43, brother Christopher, 40, and their father Christy, 64, are living it up in the United Arab Emirates.

Daniel Kinahan is thought to have been in Dubai when British boxer Tyson Fury thanked him for helping to organise an anticipated bout against fellow world heavyweight title holder Anthony Joshua.

Last week, BBC’s Panorama aired a documentary – Boxing and the Mob – detailing Daniel Kinahan’s links to the sport as well as his association with crime and murder.
