Kinahan gang paranoia exposed as Estonian hitman arrested in court
Court reveals Kinahan gang paranoia after Estonian hitman arrest; Sean McGovern pleads guilty to directing a criminal organisation.
In Dublin, Sean McGovern has pleaded guilty to two charges of directing the activities of a criminal organisation, a case linked to the Kinahan gang.
Prosecutors said McGovern was involved in surveilling an active target for assassination for the Kinahan organised crime group, highlighting the operational scale of the gang's activities.
The court heard the Kinahan gang harbored paranoia about security and potential threats following arrests, illustrating the level of caution within the operation.
In a related development, the daughter of murder victim Noel Kirwan described a Kinahan lieutenant as “stupid” as she spoke publicly about the violence that cut short Kirwan’s life — he died after being shot five times outside his Dublin home on December 22, 2016.
