So once High Court accepted the extradition request or put that through, Dubai moved quickly.

We decided here in this state that we want him before the courts on criminal charges.

We believe he has committed a crime.

The state will put their case to him in the court, in the special criminal court.

But up to that point, like Daniel Kinahan wasn't a fugitive.

He wasn't on the run.

He was living openly because there were no charges levelled against him at that point.

Okay.

I think people almost missed that technicality and thought he had some kind of protection out there.

Well, he, you know, he did too, because and from the beginning, you know, himself, his brother, his father, you're not supposed to be able to get residency or set up companies, for example, in the Emirates.

If you have any criminal convictions, his father has many convictions for money laundering, for heroin trafficking and various other things.

You know, there would have been plenty of simple Google searches that would show you that Daniel Kinahan had strong links to criminality and yet they got residency out there.

He would have had and befriended a kind of a brattish younger royal who he believed was really protecting him.

And look, in the end of the day, it was their money that saw them so welcome in the Gulf.

For him, the fact that he was bringing sport out there and he was, you know, that's what they want.

They want to be the centre of certain sports and for them to be hosted.

And he was bringing that, you know, he was bringing that out to the Emirates.

So he was welcome there for a long time.

Ciarán, you could almost divide the boxing timeline into two categories.

Part one being the pre-Tyson Fury Instagram post in 2020 and then part two being subsequent to that.
