And I suppose many people would have wondered, what's the delay from...

you know, that sense of urgency on 22 with now.

So 22 were the sanctions when the US Treasury came over and they named the Kinahan organization, I think the first European crime group that were sanctioned by the US.

And those sanctions are a little bit, almost nearly a PR thing.

than anything else because, you know, when they're in Dubai, it's difficult to know exactly, you know, what money has been, you know, basically any US citizen can't go into business with them or can't do any dealings with them.

So that's what that was.

There's been a little bit of a thing going around all week, you know, why did the Emirates move on Daniel Kinahan this week?

Is it because of the war with Iran?

Is it because of this?

The reason they moved on him was because there was a warrant issued in the High Court in Dublin 48 hours before he was picked up.

So even when those sanctions were announced, there was no warrant.

Nobody had charges, criminal charges for him.

And the Irish were working away on this overarching case.

There's been a massive file with the director of public prosecutions and the director would have only come back 48 hours before he was lifted.

Gone to the high court in essentially behind closed doors, got that warrant.

There was an Interpol red notice issued for him.

And that's when the police moved in Dubai.

And in fairness to them, I do a lot of giving out about them and the regime out there.

But they did move quickly.

Okay.
