Daniel Kinahan is set to be returned to Ireland after losing a final attempt to stop his extradition. The decision means he can now be brought back to face trial in Ireland.
The 49-year-old was arrested in April on the basis of a warrant issued by the Irish courts. His legal challenge had sought to prevent that extradition, but the latest ruling removes that obstacle.
The outcome marks a significant step in the case, as Irish authorities move closer to having Kinahan appear before the courts at home. With his appeal effort unsuccessful, the extradition process is now expected to proceed.
The development brings an end to Kinahan’s last-ditch bid to remain outside the jurisdiction and paves the way for his return to Ireland to answer the charges before an Irish trial.
