The arrest of senior Kinahan cartel member Liam Byrne

Kinahan Cartel kingpin Liam Byrne has been arrested on the holiday island of Majorca after slipping home from Dubai to meet his family.
The 42 year old is wanted in the UK on serious firearms and organised crime offences and will face extradition to the courts there.
The arrest comes after his lengthy career at the very top of the criminal ladder and marks the final blow to the once powerful Dublin branch of the Kinahan Cartel.
Nicola speaks to Niall Donald about the breaking news story about Liam Byrne's arrest and about his long history in violent crime.

Stevie G is flith... i always think it's funny when they say that Lee is not involved in criminality, he is 23, drives a 80k BMW X5, no job, and I don't believe he makes it as an influencer.. if your benefiting you are involved

[@dixienormaz3763]

Marinated in crime this lad!!! Wont be going to Anfield with Stevie G anytime soon!!!!🙏

[@NosyFella]

Gerrard will have known exactly what Byrne was all about.

[@jamescoull7402]

Some big gangster was banging the daughter of Gerard.

[@krismorrice1870]

Got nothing to do with Steven Gerrard though does it lol

[@ggg-eg5pz]

​@@krismorrice1870 well we don't know that yet , so let's wait and see. Slippy is clearly not involved in trafficking but growing up in Liverpool and seeing the damage drugs do, he really is guilty of complete stupidity. You shouldn't have friends who are involved in killing and destroying communities with drugs. This will damage him and may even prevent him entering the US.

[@krismorrice1870]

@ggg-eg5pz Liam's Byrne's son has no criminal convictions, Steven Gerrard won't be stopped entering the US I can almost guarantee it... Gerrard hasn't done anything wrong, his daughter is in a relationship with an innocent young lad. End of

[@anfeariontach]

@@krismorrice1870 Gerrard was always a thug, assaulted a DJ because he wouldn't play Phil Collins and stood on Ander Herrara in his last game v United and was sent off after 10 seconds.

[@Gentile340]

Liam Byrne is not Stevie G's only link to the criminal world. His cousin/second cousin known as Uncle Bobby handed himself in 2014 after 3 yrs on the run over £60m importation. He got 14 yrs and should be due parole soon.

[@ggg-eg5pz]

Jaysus he got of light enough for 60 million. Bomber kavanagh (Byrne's brother in law) I think just got 22 years for only a single shipment he plead guilty to. They don't mess around in England on sentencing, Ireland is now catching up now on huge sentencing as well. I think Stevie G likes having criminality around him. Needs to be careful though, he could be on that list of 600 the yanks have banned from entering.

And Cala dor is lovely this time of year but belmarsh is the next 20 years 😅

I had to switch over to the podcast to listen, as I couldn't be looking at that fellas doppy face for half an hour.

[@bigschlongdave3771]

I went to school in Staffordshire with the 22 year old that got arrested, knew him relatively well, sat next to him in physics, I had literally no idea of any of this💀💀

[@ChrisBmufc]

20 years in a UK jail. You don’t go around flashing cars and living the highlife on the Net and get away with it. The smartest always stayed low and let’s be honest the opposite didn’t.

[@theboiballincollig]

Big men around town, haha 20 years for it, being a muppet

[@shutup2751]

if he is convicted, when he comes out will he still retain power or will he be finished ?

[@Damo-hp7bc]

When not if

[@patkearney9320]

He'll be a pensioner if they have there way, I think this time the SCC will be sharper when someone stands before them.

[@ggg-eg5pz]

​@@patkearney9320 it won't be the SCC. The Irish Garda don't mind that the Brits have him first. Apparently Byrne is one of the smartest ones and never ever got close to drug shipments, so they may have nothing there, it's guns the Brits have him on, still facing 20 on that though. Byrne won't set foot on Irish soil again till he's at least 60 years old.

[@thenotchosen]

He knows the names of all the corrupt officials , That is some top info he has to trade with , So this is going to be very interesting

[@pjg4087]

He will be away for 20 years unless he opens his mouth

How embarrassing, must like porridge.

It must be hard on Gerry's enemy's him walking free not many walk from the SCC it adds to his legend working class hero.

​@@patkearney9320 not only the monk walked, his nephew walked, mago gately still walking around after being shot a few times. Plus the main hutch man has 24 hour private security paid for by the taxpayer indefinitely. It must drive Danial mental.

It wasn't bank holiday

[@timsmusic7349]

@@Tito-en5nv Shur wasn't it the same weekend, wasn't it? It's a shame to upset the mother like that after getting the whole family over there to Spain. They won't have much luck after a low blow like that. Shur they had the whole year to get him. I'm surprised they didn't wait till Christmas. Eejits.

Hi Nicola, I tried to listen to one of your podcasts on a flight last week, but the whole conversation sounded like bar-stool banter - very low and unsure on facts. I had to stop listening.
