James Walsh and his former partner Lisa O’Hara are being targeted by the Criminal Assets Bureau for their Clondalkin home, which the bureau claims crime proceeds were used as a deposit and for renovation works on the property
A weapons caretaker for the Kinahan cartel is out of prison after serving an eight-year sentence for gun possession, it emerged during a High Court hearing.
The pair had consented last year to an interim order made by the High Court to permit the sale of their home there. But in December, the court heard the sale of the home fell through. Walsh was described as a "trusted lieutenant” of the Kinahan cartel in the Special Criminal Court in 2018, where he was sentenced to eight years in prison for firearms offences arising from a raid on the Kinahan cartel’s secret weapons depot in January 2017.
The total cash involved in that money-laundering case was €136,861 and was either found during the search of his home or was lodged in various bank accounts between 2015 and 2017. Walsh first came to garda attention following a raid on January 24, 2017 on the Kinahan cartel’s secret weapons depot in Greenogue Industrial Estate, where gardai investigating organised crime seized a submachine gun, rifles, semi-automatic pistols and a significant amount of ammunition.
