$5m rewards offered as Kinahan gang hit by US sanctions

The US government has imposed sanctions on the three most senior members of the Kinahan organised crime group and offered a rewards of up to $5 million for information leading to their arrests or the financial disruption of the gang.

Daniel Kinahan, who has been named in the High Court as the controller and manager of the Kinahan gang, his father Christopher Snr, a convicted drug trafficker, and brother Christopher Jnr, who was caught travelling on a false identity document in Germany, have all been placed on an Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) list, which is a list of the US Treasury Department.

They are among seven members of the Kinahan gang, as well as three associated businesses, targeted by OFAC.

OFAC administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions against targeted international narcotics traffickers, as well as foreign countries and regimes and terrorists.
