Suspected cartel boss Daniel Kinahan reportedly admitted he fears being murdered in prison and warned people that he would never commit suicide behind bars.
The 48-year-old Irishman, who has just been extradited to his home country after spending over a decade living in Dubai, is said to have sent a series of voice notes. In the messages, to a popular podcast, he explained his views on his arrest and stressed that he he is “not suicidal.”
Just hours before his flight to Dublin, Kinahan reportedly sent a series of voice notes to the podcast host James English, who hosts The Anything Goes Podcast Show. The former boxing promoter told English: “If I happen to fall and bang my head when I have handcuffs on me, I didn’t fall.

“If I end up hanging myself, killing myself, poisoning myself, it didn’t happen. I’m not suicidal.”
Kinahan can also be heard reflecting on his “bittersweet” current situation, telling the host that “everything’s in God’s hands”, it’s claimed. He reportedly said that “everything happens the way it’s supposed to happen” before saying that he is “looking forward to getting home.”
He said: “I was always proud to be Irish and I wanted to do good things and big things. Obviously, life didn’t go that way for me.” But the suspected crime boss can also be heard admitting that he fears for the worst, saying: “I think we all know I won’t be getting bail.”
Kinahan said he was looking forward to being back in his home country
“We’re going to go through the dance now, and the circus, and then the character assassination even more now, of me and my family. Let the public see all evidence, and if all the evidence is there that they say is against me, then I should go to prison,” he said.
Kinahan was arrested in Dubai back in April following a joint investigation by UAE and Irish officials. he has subsequently been returned to Ireland aboard an Irish government aircraft.
Armed Irish police Gardaí took him from Casement Aerodrome at Baldonnel to the Special Criminal Court, where he has since been charged and remanded in custody.

He appeared in the dock without a lawyer saying: “I didn’t have time to arrange anything. I was taken in Dubai and isolated from Friday afternoon. I assumed a family member would contact a legal rep, so apologies.”
