Kinahan gang 'priority fugitive' Liam Byrne arrested by Spanish cops

Spanish cops have arrested what they called a Kinahan "priority fugitive" wanted in the UK on the holiday island of Mallorca - and he has been named as Liam Byrne.

Senior Kinahan cartel figure Byrne was taken into custody after leaving his hideaway in Dubai and jetting to Majorca to see relatives.

Spanish police released footage of the capture as they confirmed the arrest of a key Kinahan member wanted by Britain.

They didn’t name him in a statement but described him as someone who led a criminal organisation specialising in arms trafficking.
