Kinahan kingpin Thomas ‘Bomber’ Kavanagh to lose €1m mansion as ‘attention switches’ to jailed criminal’s luxury assets The case against the kingpin, 56, was taken after he received a 21-year-jail term for running a €36m drug smuggling operation in 2022.

Kavanagh was hit with the weapons charge after he tried to secure a lesser prison sentence for the drugs by offering up the weapons.

GUILTY PLEA

When he provided the locations of the firearms, the NCA charged him and his brother in law Liam Byrne with firearms offences.

Both men pleaded guilty this week and will be sentenced over the smuggling plot next month.
