The Kinahan crime cartel has been hit in a major operation led by the Criminal Assets Bureau, involving 18 searches in Dublin and Kildare. A Garda statement said that documentation in relation to the ownership of assets, financial documentation, mobile phones and electronic storage devices were seized and were being examined by CAB officers. “Evidence of considerable expenditure on a number of homes in the Dublin area has been obtained and analysed by an expert on behalf of CAB,” the statement said. They were assisted by the Garda Emergency Response Unit (ERU), DMR Armed Support Unit, Kildare Armed Support Unit, District Detective Unit DMR South, the Garda Air Support Unit and the Garda Dog Unit. In total, 18 searches were conducted in counties Dublin, mainly in Crumlin and neighbouring Walkinstown, and Kildare.
