Detention will disrupt flow of drugs into State, gardaí believe - The Irish Times - Mon, May 31, 2010: "gang leader’s associates in Spain, Ireland and the UK will all being trying to identify the informers and hoping the finger of suspicion doesn’t fall of them. The safety of any criminal suspected of informing on Ireland’s biggest drug gang would be seriously compromised.
It appears the bulk of the initial intelligence came from a €10.5 million seizure of cannabis in Clongorey, Co Kildare, in February 2008.
That means the postmortem into how it all went wrong for Kinahan will likely have its focus in Ireland.
However, Irish criminals on the Costa del Sol who knew anything about Kinahan’s operation will all now be under suspicion as possible informers.
Many drug gangs here and in Britain owe Kinahan’s gang huge sums of money for the drugs they bought from him and may now feel with the gang boss behind bars, they no longer have to pay up.
The remnants of Kinahan’s gang will undoubtedly have other ideas, which may bring them into potentially serious conflict with some of the most dangerous Irish and British drug and gun gangs."
