The Kinahans

In February 2016, a hit-team of 6 men burst through the doors of a boxing weigh-in at Dublin's Regency Hotel. There, a Kinahan Cartel lieutenant named David Byrne, was shot point blank in the head. The attack took place in front of a room packed full of sportspeople, media and civilians including young children. From that moment on, Irish gangland would never be the same again.


The Kinahan's is a new true crime series from The Irish Sun telling the complete story of Ireland's most feared crime family. The podcast looks at how a middle class man and his two sons from Dublin, became Europes biggest drugs cartel. We also look at what comes next for the cartel, as they continue to evade The FBI, An Garda Síochána, Interpol and a number of other police services globally.

    Astonishing
    Quite simply the best true crime podcast there is. Brilliantly researched and presented this podcast takes one inside the murky dangerous underworld of international drug dealing, money laundering and murder. An astonishing array of characters and double dealing treachery pepper the narrative. And, even better, it’s all true and the final chapter has yet to be written. This is a must listen. Well done guys.

    Gripping
    Didn’t know much about this family. Series so far seems in-depth and not overly sensational. Interviews with some victims.

    Truly brilliant
    I binge-listened to this series and went away wanting even more episodes. Amazing work!

    Delusional Reporting
    Having Michael Bart's sister on to tell a sob story about a man linked to an illegal organization who killed hundreds and affected thousands of people during the troubles.

    Answers a lot of questions
    So many flubs by authorities over the years.

    Good stuff
    Wasn’t sure at the start, but it really pulled me in. I’m itching for the last couple episodes after binging what’s been released.

    Great detail yet told in a flowing story format.
    I’ve enjoyed the podcast so far for the level of detail and story building. Yes it’s a true crime Cartel Story, but it’s set in Europe - thus adding a different flavor. Once you start with the first episode you are hooked and have to binge listen to the rest. Great work.
