How new weapons charges for Thomas 'Bomber' Kavanagh will shake the Kinahan cartel

Thomas Bomber Kavanagh co-operated with police during an investigation into weapons and their location in Ireland.
The crime boss, serving 21 years in prison for drug dealing, appeared in court on weapon charges but a Judge at Westminster Magistrates Court heard that he led officers to the guns and ammunition. They were discovered in Newry in 2021.
Messages taken from the Encrochat phone hack were also described as forming part of the National Crime Agency case against Kavanagh and two co-conspirators.
The same case involves his son Jack Kavanagh and brother in law Liam Byrne who are both fighting extradition to the UK from Spain.
Nicola is joined by journalist Eamon Dillon to talk about the court revelations which will leave the Kinahan network worried that one of their own may be helping out the police

All this started from Daniel trying to rip Gary Hutch off for the bank robbery money

[@mrnice5227]

Someone who actually followed the whole thing since it started spot on Daniel’s greed started it

[@dean7652]

@@mrnice5227 love reading and watching real crime but obsessed with this Kinahan thing!! Definitely mate, don’t know why he had to rip him off when he was virtually his right hand man at the time, it must have pissed him off when Hutch asked for his money, I reckon it was a power thing by Kinahan as if to say “I can do what I want” Christy Kinahan must be fuming with him

[@craigmckinnon2793]

@@dean7652 Gary was also getting out of control and thought of himself as the leader between the two because of his family's background. Daniel also never stole the money, Gary gave it to him to get it laundered and Gary wasn't happy with how long it was taking to get back to him, which then started the tension and both parties were ready to kill each other. It just so happened that they got to Gary before he got to them.

[@dean7652]

@@craigmckinnon2793 yeh I understand that mate but I imagine him stalling over giving your washed million back would be enough to want to clip DK. Kinahan knew exactly what would happen but the fallout from this shone the light on the cartel more than ever. Dumb move if you ask me.

[@craigmckinnon2793]

@@dean7652 100% mate Nobody wins, Daniel will end up in prison for life and the Hutch's lost plenty of relatives. Even tho Gerry was found not guilty recently, the mental side of losing all his family members will never go away.

Is it true he tried the giving up the gun stash stroke again, Michael Howard isn’t the Home Secretary now. He won’t be getting any store card points, any time shortly anyway.

Not as a Double CatA is he doing 50% Nicola . I think you may be confusing the English Dispersal system with the one in Northern Ireland . Hes not seeing the street for atleast 20 after this 😮

[@redroseofsummer2979]

💯

[@Bluesea1690]

Probley do about 16 to 18 as long as his new sentence is concurrent as it looks like he’s gny be getting another 15 to 20. He will no doubt be well looked after in jail so will be able to keep his head down. Plenty of cash to throw about

[@danshields9980]

Came here to say the exact same thing. Tariff reductions in England are calculated from a variety of things (plea, speed of plea etc.) And the maximum you can get off is 30% But Bomber won't get anything like that off.

[@GCMAC1980]

Over 5 years will do two thirds

True saying everyone’s gangster till there hit with 20 to life there starting to talk now

Think you need to check the sentencing guidelines in the uk

[@fatninja9736]

Oooo danny boy where are you 😂

[@justsomeone6913]

30 minutes in… in the u.k a 9mm Glock semi automatic hand gun goes for £7000-£8500. Sounds ridiculous but true. There are cheaper 38 cal 6 shot revolvers go for £4000-£5000+ but the price I hear is ridiculously expensive now for these kind of weapons bought new. (It’s just what I hear from a friend of a friends neighbour) :- I don’t have anything to do with crime but that’s the answer to that and from a source that is 100% into all those things. Why the need for some low level criminals to possess these weapons is crazy

[@David-so7zo]

I wouldnt think he be cooperating tbh

[@BillyBob-dz9rg]

Any sentences above 4yr you do two thirds in uk

[@Mark-ko2mr]

Anyone else who would give guns too gaurds be called a lowlife rat....wats the difference...he broke the criminal code...fact..u get caught you do your jail

[@13badthings]

You mean lowlife criminal code? Those higher up the food chain almost always play on both sides of the fence. Otherwise they wouldn't hold their position for so long. Criminal code? Please. 😂 It ain't 80, 90 anymore. Business as usual. Don't mean nothing to him that you will call him rat on yt. No one comes out to say it in his face. In or outside them walls. 100%

[@redroseofsummer2979]

I don't think bomber would go as far as to become a full on co operating witness ...but you never know 🐀🐀

[@dean7652]

Probably doing a Thomas Haase I think his name was in Liverpool, giving up some info on his own weapons stash to shave time off, I maybe wrong though

[@patkearney9320]

I don’t think they need information they have it all and America will collect them all D.K and his people will American time. Because in Ireland or Europe they could still do there thing.

[@redroseofsummer2979]

​@dean7652 yeah I reckon you're right tbh dean

[@redroseofsummer2979]

​@patkearney9320 I hope you're right Pat....but do you not think it looks a bit embarrassing now on the DEA, interpol etc , after that big press conference with different agencies over a year ago, yet kinahans and mcgovern are still living large in the sun .
