    They can get Saddam and Osama but they can't get a man leaving Google reviews in restaurants 🤦🏻‍♂️

    The location of the Kinihans has always been known. This is nothing new. The reward on offer is for information leading to their conviction, it's not for their location.

    Really annoying how the investigator keeps pronouncing Dubai as ‘Jubai’. No wonder the Irish haven’t been able to catch him!
  • @woowaptibam5253
    He's got enough money to keep the right palms greased. Plain and simple he's not worried about deportation or extradition! Without the right leverage or pressure applied he'll be just fine.
  • @jh6273
    someone is writing these for him a a decoy. No way is it him leaving a trace
  • @ConradWalsh
    Like HE himself is leaving reviews. My 4 year old doesn't even buy it! What complete and utter TOSH. :face-fuchsia-poop-shape:
  • @mbjoer
    Interesting as far as detective work goes. But if they really wanted to hurt organised crime and improve health, there is only one solution: Legalise and regulate the drugs trade!
  • @karlh4718
    Makes sense when fury is over there an looks coked up 😂
  • @jimneversink9700
    How To Catch A Wanted Man: publicly tell the media everything the authorities know about him and his whereabouts, as well as provide current updates about police progress - thus keeping the criminal himself updated on their progress?! Oh bravo 🙌
  • @Kazzb1967
    He’s giving Google reviews from the toro bora caves 😂

    Interesting how the 'so-called Dubai Govt'. speaks and behaves as if they're running a tight ship. yet here we are again allowing criminal elements to operate freely on their own turf.

    Dubai is shelter for this kind of activities recent years.

    christy has yous right where he wants yis 🤣mugs if you believe its him
  • Very impressive what you can achieve if you put your mind to it. Wish the Kinahans could have applied their management skills to fixing this country. If the Irish government was concerned about criminality they would not have invited the worlds criminals into Ireland no passport required.
