Episode 1279: Maurice Sines and his links to Thomas 'Bomber' Kavanagh

A jewellery store heist has reportedly put a bounty on the heads of four robbers and now a court has heard that the true owner of the targeted watch shop is none other than notorious caravan park operator and Kinahan associate Maurice Sines. So the question is: did the accused men bite off more than they could chew when they put this plan together? And why, according to their defence team, would Maurice Sines be the secret owner of a business described as a front for money laundering? Nicola talks to Niall Donald to take a closer look at Sines — and his connection to Thomas “Bomber” Kavanagh. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
