Just a note on why money is vacuum packed: for such a large sum being moved the eventual recipient (a Mr. Big for e.g) would be very cautious.

A trusted henchman is sent to witness the money being counted out. The money is then placed into vacuum bags and an identifiable note or mark is placed inside the bag.
The packaged money is followed by the henchmen to its destination.

Such a large amount would need to be delivered to someone high up. That person needs a quick transaction confident the package is what was promised.

A verified and tightly bundled package is a lot handier than counting out notes in the back of an X5 at the back of Supervalue in Kells.

i would say its more got to do with sniffer dogs pal the money was more than likely on its way out of the country and customs have dogs at the ports and airports specifically trained to pick up the scent of large amounts of money. When the moneys in air tight vacuum bags its supposed to eliminate the smell or rumored to do so anyway

Exactly. But a lot of people quote these stories as if they're fact.

Hmm. If two papers have the same story, they are accused here of colluding. If they have different information, they're accused of making stuff up.

We get what we can. We rely on our sources. It's an imperfect, chaotic science.

I have to say, (and it's an observation, more than a criticism, although maybe when copying stories from the Sun it is a criticism) I don't live in Ireland so can't comment on the print editions, but the online editions of the Independent, Sun, Herald and SW( Why does the Star website lag so far behind for updates in comparision?) all regularly copy entire stories from each other, Of course its credited at the end of the story so it's not stealing. Still interesting though why they do this, Surely each papers investigation team would be a little dubious about the other papers sources etc? Is this because they're all part of the same INM Denis O Brien group?

Its not the problem of misinformation and you know this,its pure hyperbole made up rubbish to sell papers when there is nothing in the news,my favourite is the ''Kinahan puts squeeze on low level dealers'' that one is wheeled out constantly.

The Star online is a joke for sure, it's soooo far behind that they must not have anyone looking after it?

I looked at it yesterday morning and I think the headline story was the Red Bull Soap Box race in Cork! How long ago was that?

I've never said anybody is colluding.

If there are different, often contradictory stories bring published, what are the public suppose to believe?

Why do you have so much trust in your sources? Or does it matter, because no matter what information is given its dressed up as dramatically as possible to sell copies?

If I was getting info from Joe, but my mate, whom I know and works in the same industry as me was getting information from Billy and our info didn't match up, I'd be asking questions. People need to start looking at the quality of the "sources" they use.

This is the reason some of the papers are called rags, and its the likes of the above that annoys people.

Something happen? Police everywhere in kilmainham, checkpoints on the south circular, garda helicopter overhead. On the way back from the gym in rialto and there were 2 paddywagons and suited garda at a house on st Anthony's rd

A lot of checkpoints around kimmage crumlin the last couple of days, there appearing for bout 30 minutes and then being moved to another location, I went through 3 today, good to see them not just camped in one location

Meanwhile life goes on

GARDAI are holding round-the-clock checkpoints to prevent gangland attacks on Gerry ‘The Monk’ Hutch and his family...

“Armed officers are driving past The Monk’s house every 30 minutes, day and night...

We can also reveal how key Kinahan target Keith Murtagh, 32, has met with gardai after surviving three attempts on his life...

More than 2,600 statements have been taken and 2,500 high visibility overt checkpoints have been conducted. @SteBreen cant copy link ? its in todays Irish sun.

A Dublin man is set to join the state’s witness protection programme after agreeing to give evidence against alleged republican dissidents and the Hutch gang, which is suspected of involvement in gang violence, writes John Mooney.

The witness was taken into protective custody last April after he was informed by gardai that his life may be at risk. He subsequently told gardai about organised crime, money laundering, and dissident republicans operating in Dublin city.

Information he provided has already allowed detectives to charge two suspects with serious offences. Bail was refused in both cases. The witness, described as a professional…

Meanwhile in Ireland its a slow Kinahan news weekend.......

The Independent have a story about Kinahan child soliders.....By Jim Cusack, probably about 1,000 word of waffle that says absolutley nothing at all, all thanks to the elusive "source".

While the Sun/Mirror (can't remember which) have a story about how the Columbian Cartel (ex led by Pablo Escobar) have fallen out with the Kinahans over a few murders in Dublins north innner city, as it's destroying their entire business.

Yet the article can't link to one actual drug bust outside of Ireland which may be a result of the feud.

Allyall · 26-06-2016 11:23AM

I also read somewhere (probably the same rag as 3 posts above) that "outside sources" had confirmed that the Kinahans personal feud was drawing too much attention onto them all in Europe.
There was nothing else in the article of any relevance, I didn't even think anything of that at the time until it matches up with the Colombians.

It may be partially true, and more likely to begin with the lower end (I doubt it's affecting the Colombian Cartel too much at this stage), but it has to be drawing the wrong kind of attention towards dealers that may have links to the Kinahans.
It makes sense that nobody else could give a sh*t about a personal feud that they have, especially when it has led to the Spanish Police upping their game in the past few months.
Another 9 were arrested in Madrid last night (Colombians I think).

Is there anything lower than a rat?

I'm not taking about a witness here I'm talking about criminals who rat to save themselves from a stretch or cos they are under pressure.

Gamebred · 26-06-2016 11:48AM

It wont be long before theres a cartel state witness and the whole thing comes crumbling down,will only take one high ranking member to be facing a long stretch and it ends for all of them.

Ehm.. scum murdering people on public streets.....?
Innocent people by mistake...

Plenty lower than a "rat".

Also, no doubt that they all 'rat' on each other when it is to their benefit.

stuar · 26-06-2016 12:18PM

Just reading some of the news reports and there may be some truth in the Colombian cartel being p1ssed with the Kinehans.

9 arrested in Madrid yesterday, 2 labs raided.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/police-arrest-9-madrid-drug-bust-methamphetamines-170309913.html

Then another article in the Independent from the start of the month says:

"We have previously, where it has been required, sent operations people to work in conjunction with other police forces, and if that is what's required here we will do the same.

Mr O'Mahony also added that such operations were previously conducted to target John Gilligan and his drug-trafficking gang.

The Kinahan cartel's association with other European and international crime gangs was also described by the senior garda as a "huge, huge conglomerate" which includes other criminal organisations, such as the Russian mafia and the Marseille-based mafia in the south of France.
Gardai have been working with police forces in Spain, the UK, France and the Netherlands in an effort to target the wealth and activities of the cartel.

He told RTE's Morning Ireland today that a garda liaison officer is carrying out "trojan work" in Madrid, where a huge focus of his work includes working in the area of organised crime.

http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/crime/a-huge-huge-conglomerate-gardai-target-kinahan-cartel-and-its-work-with-russian-gangs-and-spanish-mafia-34766509.html

I know the Spanish police are a bit laxidaisy at the best of times and there's rivalry between the green and blue uniforms over there, but maybe they pulled up their socks for the garda and their "trojan work" in Madrid ??,

Then there was a 215kg of weed caught lastnight worth €4.3m in Rosslare after arriving from France, which would almost certainly belong to the Kinehans and may have resulted from the garda's work abroad.

you'll find that criminals who go into witness protection are scum. They do the crime and then rat so they don't do the time.

few or if any supergrasses aren't neck deep in the crime they are snitching on and probably have been caught on so there is no greater good at play

witnesses on the other hand should be lauded...there is a huge difference.

Allyall · 26-06-2016 01:10PM

I'm not commending anyone involved in crime for anything. I was just stating that a rat isn't the lowest.

coniosumadre · 26-06-2016 01:14PM

The original Sunday Times article reports he's a fraudster, not anyone directly involved or part of either group then. My money is on the guy from the Sunday World article posted above.

20Cent · 26-06-2016 04:02PM

American style catch someone high up then offer them a deal to rat on the rest. Not sure if it's the best way hard pill to swallow letting someone go into witness protection but maybe better In the long run.

True, look at our own supergrass that turned against b.Meehan, he lived where I used to, 24 hour protection for years, I think he moved when protection was stepped down. Look at all the rats in the New York mafia families that gave everyone up in the1990's
