Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 12 Oct, 15:19 · Archive

Daniel Kinahan, 49, alleged leader of an organised crime group, will apply for bail in the coming weeks after appearing in Dublin's Special Criminal Court.

Daniel Kinahan, 49, alleged leader of the Kinahan organised crime group, appeared before Dublin's Special Criminal Court on Monday. He has been charged with directing the activities of a criminal organisation between October 2015 and April 2017. He did not speak during the brief hearing.

Kinahan was arrested in the UAE in April on foot of an arrest warrant issued by Irish courts under a bilateral extradition agreement. He was flown to Ireland in August and taken by Garda escort to court, where he was charged.

His solicitor, Darragh Mackin from Phoenix Law in Belfast, told the court that a bail application would be lodged and made through the High Court in due course. Mr Mackin said the trial timetable would need to account for expert examination of digital evidence. He also said they are seeking full disclosure in relation to two other investigations in Spain and Dubai, from which Kinahan was acquitted in other jurisdictions.
