Daniel Kinahan 'running out of road' in race to escape UAE - update

Sky Sports presenter Matthew Macklin was banned from boarding a flight to the US. The former boxing world title contender was due to fly to Las Vegas. His links to Kinahan mean he is now persona non gratia in the United States. Macklin's ties to Daniel Kinahan are extensive. He initially co-founded MTK boxing management in 2012 with the Irishman, who once described Macklin as his best friend.
Measures announced by Dubai mirror American sanctions, which means nobody in the kingdom can do business with them. Technically, not even supermarkets can serve them. UAE authorities no longer want the traffickers from the Kinahan Cartel in their country. It is increasingly likely they will be arrested and extradited to Ireland to face charges. A second possibility is that the UAE will hand the men over to the US. Its said the $5m rewards have resulted in an avalanch of rats and new material for cops to pursue. The Kinahans will need to act quickly ... the prospect of spending the rest of their lives at Florence ADMAX is growing.

Captagon trade on the rise

Captagon is one of several brand names for the drug compound fenethylline hydrochloride. Captagon was the trade name of the drug when it was initially patented in Germany in the early 1960s. It was used to treat attention deficit and narcolepsy. By the 1980's the U.S. government declared it a controlled substance with no accepted medical use. Manufacturing of the drug ceased in the developed world. Trade in Captagon in the Middle East grew exponentially in 2021 to top $5b. Syria is the main producer and Saudi Arabia the main consumer. The market value of the Captagon produced in Syria far outstrips legal exports and has resulted in the country being branded a narco state.
Captagon has so far only been consumed on a very small scale in Europe but that has the potential to change. Sold for less than a dollar in parts of Syria to users, the same tablet can fetch more than $20 in Saudi Arabia. Captagon is a highly addictive amphetamine.

Mafioso Marco Pizzi banned from own bar

The regulator pulled no punches ... "the most disturbing aspect of this case is the presence and influence of certain individuals connected to the highest spheres of Montreal organized crime on the control of the establishment" The new owner, Carmine Juliano Battista, has pledged to keep the riff raff out.

Colombo boss Andrew 'Mush' Russo wins bail - dies

Long time boss 'Mush' was able to die surrounded by his loved ones as opposed to in prison.
Andrew 'Mush' Russo, 87, was charged in a union shakedown, and won his freedom with a $10m bond. The street boss was sunk by underlings using their cell phones for family business. “Hey this is the 2nd text, there isn’t going to be a 3rd,” one texted to a union official. Millennial mobsters are said by their elders to be obsessed with their phones, lacking street smarts, and stupid. They are reluctant to make the young criminals made men.

Russo was allowed home detention.
Russo was born in New York in 1935, the cousin of Carmine Persico. From 1973 to 1975 he served as acting underboss. He was sentenced to 14 years in prison in 1986. He was released on parole in 1994 and became street boss after Persico's arrest. In 1999, he was convicted of jury tampering, and he served 57 months. In 2010, he took over the family after his parole expired, succeeding the caged street boss Ralph DeLeo. In 2013, he was sentenced to 33 months in prison.
