The Kinahan Cartel's 'Sean McGovern' DEADLIEST Hit: The Killing of an Innocent Man Noel KIrwan

Описание: The Photograph That Became a Death Sentence: The Noel Kerwin Case

On December 22nd, 2016, 62-year-old Noel Kerwin was shot dead in his own driveway—three days before Christmas. He wasn't a drug dealer. He wasn't a gangster. He was a grandfather who'd left Dublin's criminal underworld behind decades ago.

So why was he killed?

The answer lies in a single photograph taken at a funeral—and the billion-euro cartel that hunted him using GPS trackers and international hitmen.

This is the story of the Kinahan-Hutch feud: Ireland's deadliest gang war. A conflict that claimed 18 lives, paralysed Dublin, and revealed the terrifying reach of one of Europe's most dangerous crime organisations.

From the Regency Hotel attack captured on live camera, to the extradition of a cartel lieutenant from a Dubai penthouse, this case exposes how modern organised crime operates—and how justice, though slow, can still catch up.
