Gangster Wednesday: Daniel Kinahan loses appeal, Ian Thomas Dixon and more

from Plastic Paddy · host Steven Ellis

This week on Gangster Wednesday, we break down the biggest developments from Ireland and the international underworld. We examine Daniel Kinahan’s latest extradition setback, the discovery of Ian Thomas Dixon living openly in Dubai, the massive seizure of military-grade firearms and drugs in Kildare and Laois, fresh developments in the James Whelan murder investigation, the Lee McDonnell case, Barry Young’s extradition battle, and the latest international cartel crackdowns. We also look at major U.S. terrorism charges against leaders linked to the Sinaloa Cartel and Cárteles Unidos, and ask whether organized crime has evolved into multinational criminal corporations operating across the globe. Join us live as we separate fact from speculation and discuss the stories shaping the modern underworld.
