#BREAKING

Wow.

United States offering a reward of up to $5,000,000 for information leading to the disruption of the Kinahan organisation - or the arrest and conviction of the three leaders of the Kinahan group.
Garda Commissioner Drew Harris says he hopes today will be a crippling blow to the Kinahans.

He says the OCG is believed to have made over €1bn in revenue.
"This is only the first phase of this initiative," says Harris - who says other nations in Spain, the Netherlands and beyond have already offered huge help and will continue to play a major role.

The US Government has imposed sanctions on senior members of what it describes as the 'Notorious Kinahan Organized Crime Group'

home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…
A major, major step by Gardaí and law enforcement in the US and UK against the Kinahan group.

The US sanctions mean American institutions can't work with the Kinahans or associated businesses.

Property and credit lines blocked, cards frozen, can't fly with American carriers.
“Criminal groups like the KOCG prey on the most vulnerable in society and bring drug-related crime and violence, including murder, to the countries in which they operate."

Brian E Nelson, US under-secretary for terrorism and financial intelligence.
