His brother David, also a Kinahan gang member, was killed in February 2016
A Kinahan organised crime group leader, described in the High Court as heavily involved in drug trafficking and violent crime, has been arrested in Spain.
Liam Byrne, whose brother David was shot dead at the Regency Hotel in Dublin seven years ago, was arrested in Majorca on foot of a UK extradition warrant.
The Criminal Assets Bureau described him in the High Court as a career criminal heavily involved in drug trafficking and violent crime with connections to international cartels in the UK, Spain and the Netherlands - and closely aligned to the Kinahan organised crime group.
It succeeded in confiscating his assets in Ireland, including his home, and Mr Byrne moved to England.
His brother David, also a Kinahan gang member, was killed in February 2016, a murder which escalated the ongoing Hutch-Kinahan feud.
Liam Byrne was arrested by the Spanish authorities in Majorca, along with another man linked to the Kinahan organised crime gang.
They were detained on foot of a UK extradition warrant following an investigation by the National Crime Agency.
