Irish Sunday Mirror has learned that officers believe McGovern played a central role in the murder of Noel Kirwan – a killing for which he is now facing extradition from his Dubai bolthole.
Kinahan gangster Sean McGovern personally tracked one of the cartel’s murder targets – and was nearby when he was shot dead, gardaí believe.
That arrest came after international policing body Interpol issued a Red Notice – and arrest on sight request – on behalf of gardaí, who were given permission in early 2022 by the Director of Public Prosecutions to charge Crumlin native McGovern, 38, with Mr Kirwan’s murder. Sources tell us that gardaí have phone evidence they believe places McGovern in Clondalkin around the time Mr Kirwan was shot dead. It’s understood his phone connected to phone masts in the area and gardaí have plotted his movements with the device on the day of the murder.“The technology does not exist to place a phone at the exact location of the murder, but it can place him in the close area at the time.
The Special Criminal Court has already heard Declan Brady – another key Kinahan lieutenant – was involved in attaching a tracker device to Mr Kirwan’s car.Brady, 56, is now serving a nine year jail term for facilitating the murder of Mr Kirwan.
