CAB can seize Daniel Kinahan mansion as court hears he 'sanctioned murders'

Thew Criminal Assets Bureau has been given the green light to seize this mansion – after the High Court ruled mob boss Daniel Kinahan effectively owned it.

Ms Shelley Horan BL, acting for CAB, said it was “noteworthy” that no one had come forward to claim ownership for such a “valuable property”, which she said was “very telling”. “This is an attempted repayment of funds to the Kinahan Organised Crime Group that wasn’t properly effected,” she added. The High Court previously heard it is alleged that Kinahan and criminal Thomas “Bomber” Kavanagh gave the now-jailed businessman Jim Mansfield Junior, 54, two suitcases containing €4.5 million, which was to be invested in property for the cartel.

The senior detective also outlined in an affidavit the evidence gathered to show that Daniel Kinahan lived in the property. The property was searched by gardai on January 29, 2015 and evidence was discovered that the house had been lived in by Kinahan. The court heard that the property and cash were both in the control and possession of Daniel Kinahan “but namely Mr Kinahan” and that Kavanagh was acting as his agent.

The court heard the criminal organisation took hold of the property in 2014, whereby €4.5 million in cash was given to Mansfield Jnr to be invested in property. When the investment “turned sour” and Mansfield Jnr “couldn’t make good” on the deal, assets were transferred to the Kinahan Organised Crime Group to repay these funds.

Mr Byrne said that threatening and abusive calls were later made and there was a lot of pressure on Jim Mansfield Jnr to pay the debt. He said the house at Coldwater Lakes “was offered as part payment for the cash paid”. In yesterday’s ruling, Mr Justice MacGrath said this was an application under section 3 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 1996 in respect of two assets.

Mr Justice MacGrath granted CAB a section 3 order which allows it to seize the house and the court will appoint a receiver at the next hearing on November 15.
