Daniel Kinahan and associate Liam Brannigan, who is currently in prison for his role in a murder plotGardai are building a case against gang boss Daniel Kinahan in relation to his role as a major figure in organised crime. The Herald can reveal that gardai are looking to question Kinahan as part of their investigations, but detectives are also now building a file with hopes of charging the Dubliner with membership of and directing an organised crime group. Sources say that a large amount of material will be, and has been, gathered as part of the probe, but that gardai are focusing on charging the head of the Kinahan organised crime gang under anti-gangland legislation. "It is ultimately our aim to dismantle the entire crime group. Dubai-based Kinahan has been identified in the High Court as a senior figure in organised crime here and the Kinahan crime group has also been found by the Special Criminal Court to carry out "execution type murders to protect its core activities".
