So I suppose, what do we know about the conditions, what the conditions are like for him over there?

And do we know when or if he's expected to be sent back to Ireland?

Well, he certainly wasn't the only one living a life of luxury because the families of McGovern and Kinahan are free to live and work in the UAE at the moment.

So who is still out there associated with them?

Interestingly, there are also the WAGs, the wives and girlfriends in Dubai.

Sean McGovern's partner, this is Anita Freeman, and Daniel Kinhen's wife, Kiva Robinson.

What's life like for these women in Dubai?

I mean, do we know if they work or are they in any legal trouble because of their partners?

Miles Johnson, you obviously are a very seasoned reporter when it comes to the Kinnahans and more broadly, I suppose, networks of international organised crime.

Now, the Kinnahan Empire does appear to be falling apart, but it has taken a long time to get to this point in the story, and I suppose it's a story that's far from over.

Now, Rome wasn't built in a day, and I suppose a successful cartel is hardly just going to collapse overnight.

Let's hone in on a detail from Maeve Sheehan's recent Sunday Independent piece.

This is about a man named Raphael Imperiale, an Italian criminal, and how he could be pivotal in the potential prosecution against Daniel Kinahan should he choose to provide evidence to the authorities.

So maybe just remind our listeners about Raphael Imperiale, his notoriety, and of course, his connection to Daniel Kinahan.

What kind of comes into my mind is that code of honour amongst criminals.

Is that not something that would come into play?

Is that not something that he would have to be surely aware of?

Or is it likely that he would give evidence against Daniel Kennehan?

Miles, there was a quote that a source gave to the Sunday Independent about the Kinnehans and their operation.

And it says, the egos got them in the end.
