Interpol, the confederation of international police forces, has confirmed that one of the most senior members of the Kinahan organised crime group, Sean McGovern, is facing extradition back to Ireland.

The 38-year-old was arrested by Dubai Police yesterday following the publication of an Interpol Red Notice, or international wanted persons’ alert.

Interpol has described Mr McGovern as “one of Ireland’s most wanted fugitives” and said the notice was published to support the ongoing collaboration between the Irish and UAE authorities.

It also confirmed that Mr McGovern is wanted for charges including murder and directing an organised crime group.

Secretary General of Interpol Jürgen Stock warned that this case “highlights that no fugitive can consider themselves safe from justice,” and underlines “the value of international police cooperation via Interpol’s global network”.

Mr McGovern will be held in the United Arab Emirates pending extradition proceedings.
