Who are 'The Family'? Mob set to take over Ireland's drugs business after global Kinahan crackdown

The mob nicknamed The Family are set to become Ireland’s biggest drugs gang – thanks to the international crackdown on the Kinahan cartel, gardai fear.

They said that the massive worldwide operation against the cartel – that saw bosses Daniel, Christy and Christopher have $5 million bounties placed on their heads – has also weakened the Kinahan cartel, or OCG, something the family is likely to exploit. “They will use violence etc, of course, but really try to stay out of the papers and not attract too much heat.”

The criminals have been active for almost two decades – but it is only in recent years that they have become a major mob.Ballyfermot-born Carey – himself a convicted drug dealer – was shot six times when he was targeted by a hit team in the underground car park of the Hilton Hotel at around 11.30am. The person also made fun of Carey’s inability to escape from the gunman who chased him in the car park last Friday morning before shooting him multiple times.Sources have told this paper that The Family try not to get involved in feuds – but they are targeting Carey.That attempt made him flee to Spain, but The Family lured him back for last Friday’s ambush by fooling him into believing the threat on his life had been lifted.
