He is already serving 12 years for directing a criminal organisation
A serving prisoner has admitted his part in a plot to amass an arms cache to help the UK boss of the Kinahan organised crime gang. On Wednesday, Peter Keating, 43, from the Republic of Ireland, admitted two charges of conspiracy to possess a firearm and two offences of plotting to possess ammunition. He also pleaded guilty to conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
Running the conspiracy from prison, Kavanagh also enlisted the help of Keating, his brother-in-law, 44-year-old Liam Byrne, and associate Shaun Kent, 38, from Liverpool. In May 2021, Thomas Kavanagh provided information to the NCA which led them to a field in Newry, Northern Ireland, where two holdalls were unearthed. They contained seven machine guns, three automatic handguns, an assault rifle and ammunition.
