US offers huge £3.8m reward to help bring down infamous Irish crime family
gang of Irish mobsters has been slapped with massive sanctions after the US government has posted a $5m (£3.8m) report for information leading to the capture of its leaders.Claire Cronin, America’s ambassador in Dublin, announced the potential payout for anyone providing "information leading to the financial disruption of the Kinahans, or the arrest or conviction" of the crime cartel’s bosses.Christopher Kinahan, and his sons Christopher Jr. and Daniel Kinahan, are believed to preside over an international smuggling ring trafficking drugs and illegal weapons around the world.Bringing the gang to justice "is an urgent priority for President Biden and the US government,” Ms Cronin said.Announcing the sanctions on the Kinahans’ business interests, Gregory Gatjanis from the US Department of the Treasury said the gang was as much of a threat as the Japanese Yakuza gangs or Italian crime syndicate the Camorra.Other Kinahan associates named in the sanctions were Sean McGovern, Ian Dixon and Bernard Clancy, who are all believed to live in Dubai, and John Morrissey who lives in Spain.
