A month later, while convalescing at home in Manchester, Moore told me how lucky he had been, as one bullet missed an artery by millimetres, and that Kinahan was “a good bloke” in the sense that he supported boxers.īut it has since been accepted in the Irish courts that the Kinahan Organised Crime Group is “involved in drug trafficking, money laundering and gangland executions” worth more than a billion dollars.
