Top Kinahan drug cartel sidekick extradited to Ireland from UAE

A senior lieutenant of the Kinahan drug cartel, Sean McGovern, was extradited from the UAE to Ireland, marking a significant setback for the cartel, which is under US sanctions. Arrested in October, McGovern, described as a key figure and close advisor to cartel leader Daniel Kinahan, faces serious charges, including murder and directing an organized crime group. His extradition highlights the diminishing security of the UAE as a safe haven for criminals and intensifies pressure on the Kinahan organization, particularly on Daniel Kinahan himself.
