without even knowing of existence.”
It’s a far cry from the luxury lifestyle the alleged Kinahan enforcer lived before he was arrested last week.
The 62-year-old lived a champagne lifestyle and he and his wife wed at five-star Dundas Castle near Edinburgh in 2016.
The couple were lifted by Spanish officers last week at their bolthole in Malaga, although Nicola was released after a court appearance.
A number of properties were also raided as part of the probe into Johnny Morrissey’s activities.
The massive operation involved the gardai and the UK’s National Crime Agency.
Spanish cops claim Daniel Kinahan’s sidekick helped launder up to €350,000 in drug profits every day for 18 months.
It is alleged that the money was moved throughout the world using an ancient money transfer system called Hawala. The method is known to have been adopted by gangs who use code numbers to prove cash is due. its
A MOTHER bled to death following a “systems failure” in her care while she was an inpatient at University Hospital Limerick, the woman’s inquest heard yesterday.
The UL Hospitals Group issued an unreserved apology to the family of Susan Doherty (47) who died in UHL on July 4, 2020, eight days after she presented there with a low white blood cell count, sore throat and high temperature.
Doctors requested an “urgent” scan of Ms Doherty’s abdomen and pelvis after she complained of severe pain in her chest, but this was not followed up on, and she died after suffering a massive bleed to her spleen.
Ms Doherty presented at UHL with a medcial history of rheumatoid arthritis and autoimmune neutropenia — a blood disorder where the immune system attacks white blood cells that fight infection.
Urgent
By the time she received the “urgent” CT scan nearly 24 hours later she had suffered a cardiac arrest.
Ms Doherty died at around midday on July 4 shortly after undergoing surgery to remove her ruptured spleen.
Conor Halpin, senior counsel acting on behalf of the UL Hospitals Group, read out a letter of unreserved apology which was signed by Noreen Spillane, chief operations officer at UL Hospitals Group.
Eleven recommendations were made following an internal review but have yet to be implemented.
Coroner John McNamara said an autopsy concluded that cause of death was due to “shock intra abdominal hemorrhage, due to splenic rupture” and, there was no evidence of wrongdoing by members of Ms Doherty’s care team.
