The police allege that Byrne's organisation had bought pistols and submachine guns in order to sell them to other criminal groups.
Police said that Byrne had travelled to the island from Dubai for a family reunion and that they executed a UK extradition warrant.The Byrne Organised Crime Group rose to the top of Ireland’s underworld relying heavily on family connections as they became an integral part of the Kinahan Cartel.
The group led by Crumlin man Byrne, whose brother David was shot dead in the Regency Hotel attack, forged a close partnership and became a trusted arm of the Kinahan cartel which became a global player in organised crime over the past two decades.
The police allege that Byrne’s organisation had bought pistols and submachine guns in order to sell them to other criminal groups. “The fugitive fled to Dubai after the NCA investigation finished and enough evidence was accumulated against him, and there he continued enjoying a luxury lifestyle and leading the organisation from a distance.
“After a lengthy investigation, the NCA discovered the fugitive had recently travelled to Majorca to meet up secretly with his family, and British police contacted the Spanish National Police’s specialist fugitive unit to make inquiries on his whereabouts.“After focusing the search on that area, the fugitive was located and arrested,” the statement concluded.Making a difference A mix of advertising and supporting contributions helps keep paywalls away from valuable information like this article.
