Summary
This episode we look to Dubai, the case of Tori Towey and the skewed concept of justice there which has seen the Kinahans flourish.
This is the story of the Kinahans’ impending downfall, of why even their criminal partners would relish the arrest of Daniel.
We go back to the beginning of his boxing foray, and a chat with the man hunting Daniel down for $10million.
We look at how the Tyson Fury links killed off his boxing dream - but is Daniel Kinahan still lurking in the shadows?
In the case of Daniel's father, we hear of the Dapper Don’s dreams of a life outside of crime as a respectable man, and how his eldest son put a bullet in that.
And we look at Europe’s cocaine problem, and how the demand has created opportunities for the Kinahans law enforcement wouldn’t have dreamed of a few years ago.
