Birth of a Cartel
Documentary following the Kinahans from a small-time street-dealing gang in 80s Dublin to its status today as one of the world’s most feared crime organisations.
New Narcos
The crime family move to Spain, where they make millions selling cocaine. A series of murders brings them to the attention of police.
The Feud
As deadly gangland feuding erupts, police are on a mission to take down the cartel’s leaders, who are hiding out in the UK.
Threat to the State
The Kinahan story has truly gone global with them living in hiding in Dubai – beyond the reach of law enforcement - and are believed to be bigger than ever, in terms of the quantities of drugs they move. The United States now view the Kinahan Cartel leaders as an international security threat and joins efforts with other global authorities to bring the cartel to justice by placing a bounty on their heads.
