Report: ESPN drops MTK show after US sanctions Daniel Kinahan for suspected ties to organized crime

This week the US government named Daniel Kinahan as a key figure in what is known as the Kinahan Organized Crime Group, an Irish based narcotic smuggling network that is believed to be worth upwards of a billion dollars. The US government also sanctioned Kinahan, forbidding any US citizens or companies from doing business with him. The US’s Drug Enforcement Agency also placed a $5 million reward for any information that leads to Kinahan’s arrest and/or conviction or a disruption of the KOCG’s activities.

Kinahan is the co-founder of Macklin’s Gym Marbella, a company that later renamed itself MTK Global.
