‘Senior lieutenant’ in Kinahan criminal cartel jailed for 24 years by Dublin court
Sean McGovern, identified as a senior lieutenant in the Kinahan criminal cartel, was sentenced to 24 years in prison by Dublin's Special Criminal Court after pleading guilty to two counts of directing criminal organisation activity linked to the 2016 fatal shooting of Noel Kirwan and a foiled plot to murder James Gately. McGovern was extradited to Ireland from the UAE through a one-off bilateral arrangement, as the recently implemented UAE-EU extradition treaty is not retrospective.
