International action is being taken against the Kinahan cartel, with the US government imposing sanctions on the Irish crime gang.
The US Department of the Treasury says the cartel smuggles deadly narcotics, including cocaine, to Europe, and is a threat to the entire licit economy through its role in international money laundering.
Daniel Kinahan, his father Christopher Snr and brother Christopher Jnr are among seven members of the crime gang named on an Office of Foreign Assets Control list.

Three associated businesses, including a UK-based drinks company and a United Arab Emirates-based sports management and advisory company, have also been sanctioned.
