Summary
In the three years following US sanctions and a $15million collective bounty on their heads, the Dapper Don and his sons have managed to thrive.
Christy Senior, Daniel and Christopher Jr’s wealth has only grown despite being locked out of any legitimate industry.
How have they managed it?
Episode 1 introduces the Kinahan’s work with terror groups, rogue states and international drugs gangs - just as Donald Trump turns the screw on the Cartels.
We take a look at the lives in gilded exile in Dubai, an existence that is anything but peaceful in 2026 as Daniel in particular lives in fear of the law which is ready to pounce.
In stark contrast to their transnational successes, we examine how the Irish State began to dismantle the OCG at home from 2016, one failed Hutch hit at a time.
Reconstructed Garda tapes deliver a fascinating insight into the work of the Cartel’s Irish sub cells employed to wage war on the Hutch faction from the gang’s Dubai HQ.
With contributions from senior detectives, gangsters, FBI, US Treasury, and News Ireland journalists.
