Kinahan mobster’s land set to be auctioned
BEACHSIDE land allegedly bought by Kinahan cartel mobster Ross Browning is set to go under the hammer.
The land at Six Cross Lane, North Beach in Rush, Co Dublin, is one of two parcels of land the Criminal Assets
Bureau seized as part of a €1.4million case against Browning and several of his family members. The CAB identified the two parcels of land as purchased with the proceeds of crime during High Court proceedings last year against Browning.
It is the Bureau’s evidence Browning – who was described in court as the Kinahan Cartel’s No1 man in Ireland – purchased one of the parcels of land “with a cheque from his then eight-year-old son’s account.”
The second parcel of land was purchased in the name of Browning’s mother Julie Conway in 2011, CAB says.
The CAB claimed Browning was behind both properties.
The beachside parcels of land have been given Advised Minimum Values – the first is €45,000 for the 0.2 acres section, while the second parcel of land is for €20,000.
Both lands are to be auctioned online on May 25 on the same day Browning’s plush countryside property in Garristown, North County Dublin, also seized by the CAB, is set to go under the hammer.
Browning, who was described by the CAB as a “close and trusted associate of Daniel Kinahan”, is involved in activities necessary to generate large amounts of money and in his role “operates on a hands off basis” to distance himself from potential detection.
Browning, from Dublin’s inner city, who previously worked as a bricklayer and gym owner, first came to the attention of the CAB in 2010.
