THE Kinahan cartel is bombarding Spanish court officials for the return of cash, cars and jewellery seized during the failed Spanish Operation Shovel mafia crackdown.
Daniel Kinahan and his dad have clawed back the bail money they had to hand over to secure their freedom following their arrests more than a decade ago.
Nearly €1m cash has already been returned to the Kinahans and other suspects rounded up as part of the massive police operation trumpeted at the time as a major triumph against organised crime, it was revealed on Tuesday.
Convicted drug dealer Christy ‘Dapper Don’ Kinahan, whose son was branded “bloody dangerous” by Barry McGuigan in a BBC Panorama special on Monday night, has been given back cash seized from the luxury Costa del Sol apartment he was filmed being cuffed on the floor in during the Shovel raids.
