Kinahan cartel 'involved' in huge Cork ship bust with street value of €500m
The elite Army Ranger Wing (ARW) stormed the MV Matthew shipping container on Tuesday lunchtime after rappelling down from a helicopter amid stormy conditions off the coast of Cork.
While investigations are still at an early stage, sources have revealed that the Kinahan organised crime gang was involved, in part, with the smuggling operation.
‘Gardaí have arrested three men already but you have to remember this is only the start. They really do believe they have stopped one of the most lucrative cocaine smuggling routes in the world.
The dramatic seizure was the result of a multi-national operation involving intelligence agencies from the US, UK, France and Portugal’s Maritime Analysis and Operations Centre (MAOC).

The United States has sanctioned nine people connected to the Mexican Sinaloa Cartel as well as the leader of Colombia's Clan Del Golfo, as the Biden administration targets international narcotic traffickers to stem the opioid epidemic at home that is being fueled by illicit fentanyl.
The Treasury also hit Jobanis de Jesus Avila Villadiego, known as Chiquito Malo, leader of the Clan del Golfo, which is a cocaine supplier to major drug trafficking organizations, including the Sinaloa Cartel.
Avila Villadiego became the leader of the Colombian paramilitary and drug cartel in May 2022 after it was announced its previous leader was to be extradited to the United States. Colombia is offering a reward of some $1.2 million for information that aids in locating and arresting the man.

The drugs belonged to Jesus Avila Villadiego Chiquito Malo, one of the heads of the atomized structures of the Urabenos, said Vargas on social media.

Why is US funding Venezuelan migrants living in Colombia?
It’s all rigged.
It’s all a scam.
