A man in his 30s is due in court this morning charged in connection with what is believed to have been another planned gangland killing.

Two men were arrested on Saturday by Gardaí investigating the Kinahan/Hutch gang feud.

One man in his 30s is due before the court in Dublin charged in relation to the seizure of a firearm and ammunition.

The second man has been released without charge and a file is being prepared for the DPP.

The Irish Examiner reports that the “potential assassins” aligned with the Kinahan crime cartel were arrested en route to carrying out their hit during the Ireland-Belgium Euro 2016 game on Saturday.

Garda sources said that up to eight possible gun attacks have been thwarted in the Kinahan-Hutch feud.

The operation was led by the Garda Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau. The dramatic arrests of two men in separate cars, one carrying a loaded handgun, was conducted by the Emergency Response Unit shortly before 3pm in south-west Dublin.

“We suspect the two were on their way to shoot some unsuspecting guy,” said one garda source. “If they had gone into a pub with a loaded handgun, innocent people could have been caught up.

“This was a potential assassination and these are potential assassins. This is a very good capture and is the result of constant surveillance and good police work.”
