POLICY WIRE — Dublin, Ireland — Suspected crime boss Daniel Kinahan has been extradited from Dubai and is set to face court in Ireland. The Irish Prison Service has procured a specialized bulletproof and bombproof van to ensure his secure transport to court proceedings.

The 49-year-old, who was detained in Dubai following an international manhunt, is expected to be transported under tight security. The Irish authorities have taken extraordinary measures to prevent any attempts at interference or escape during his transfer.
