- How did the Kinahan organized crime group rise to the top of cocaine trafficking in Europe?
In this episode, Mark sits down with investigative journalist and author Nicola Tallant to discuss her book ‘Cocaine Cowboys: The Deadly Rise of Ireland's Drug Lords’.
At the end of the 90s, Ireland was booming, the ‘Celtic Tiger’ had risen. People had more money to spend on leisure activities, and on drugs.
In steps a man from a comfortable middle-class background in Ireland, the well-educated and well-mannered, Christopher Kinahan Snr, who alongside his two sons Daniel Kinahan and Christopher Jnr, created the Kinahan Cartel.
Along with the cocaine came money, extreme violence and assassinations. The most famous of these was the Hutch-Kinahan feud, which saw criminal groups fighting one another across Europe.
Eventually, the Kinahan Cartel would join with criminal organizations from across Europe to create what Europol called the ‘European Super Cartel’, controlling the distribution of cocaine across the continent.
In 2022, the Kinahan Cartel, alongside its leading members, were sanctioned by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) over alleged links to a money laundering network run by Hezbollah.
Nicola Tallant has been reporting and investigating organized crime in Ireland for three decades. She has written several books about the topic and has a successful podcast called ‘Crime World’.
In this episode, Mark talks to Nicola about her new book ‘Cocaine Cowboys: The Deadly Rise of Ireland's Drug Lords’.

This is a fascinating video. I watch Crime World podcasts, but hadn't heard Nicola talking in depth like this. I think I'm convinced to buy her book at long last! She's right, the way crime is covered in Ireland is very different to the UK. The smallest stories can take on a life of their own, and the intricacy of the gangs/ organised crime is fascinating. I hope Nicola keeps safe. She does a risky job but it's an important job.
She's a pure sneaky biatch,
Living off lives of others & start's trouble with her shite talking.. She's the person that gave these criminals there Nick name's & reports for lieing Newspaper Sunday world.
Great interview Nicola
Nicola is a wonderful journalist 🙂
The biggest organised crime gang in Europe is An Garda Siochana
💯👌
Very interesting interview and totally backs up a book I read a few years back. It's called Red Cocaine and the drugging of America and the West by Joseph Douglas! He was an Australian intelligence officer and its an excellent book that is very relevant today.
From my experiences in Ireland, partying and intoxication is an important thing. Weddings, pub life, funerals are over celebrated. This excess is not frowned upon by police, for example. My theory is that gatherings were a means of avoiding violent conflict between tribal groups going back into prehistory, who sorted disagreements with gifts and alcohol/drugs. When daily life was a mindless grind to survive it's easier to understand, but today with so many choices of lifestyle, it's pure perversion.
The drug trade is not the most important issue here in Ireland. I wish people would stop talking about it as if it is. Give me a break.
Excellent podcast 👍. We're a mad wee country really. Always thought legalization of cannabis in Ireland would be a tourist boom and a tax win... It's 2024...
Yes like you Mrs Nicola a word about Mr assange that's why the media is slipping away tell the truth and she and the devil 😢
The rigid boxed Dutch mind is absolutely incapable of giving genuine credence to the kind of deep understanding that Nicola has. 'So condecending ( and so so ignorant)
