Suspected head of global crime empire is arrested in Spain.
The article I chose goes on and explains how the suspected head of global crime empire is arrested in Spain. In his mansion, along with a vast amount of international drugs, guns, and money was found. 53 year old Christy Kinahan was detained with his two sons, he was born in Britain grew up in Dublin. He is the alleged head of a "£200m crime network which traded in drugs and guns, and was involved in money laundering. The Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca) and Irish authorities described his criminal operations as "prolific".
He used a British passport in order to travel freely across Europe. The police claimed to have dealt a major blow to the gang activity by arresting Christy. He was a top target for SOCA.
Analysis: I believe that the gang activity and money laundring, guns, and others are still going to continue. It is great that major head's like this are found and arrested but the crime rate is increasing all over the world. Especially now in times were people would steal for anything crime is still going up. The major drug lords and gang leaders getting arrested should help a tremendous amount by them being the main ring leaders pulling the strings behind the scenes.
