The Crime Agents

He was one of the most wanted men in Europe, with a $5 million US bounty on his head, living openly in Dubai for the last decade. Now Daniel Kinahan is in prison, facing a charge of directing a criminal organisation in the Irish courts.

In this special episode, Andy travels to Dublin to discover the rise of the Kinahan cartel, from its roots in Dublin and the violent Hutch-Kinahan feud to the empire it’s alleged to have built.

Andy's joined by Nicola Tallant, investigation editor of the Sunday World, to unpack Kinahan’s arrest in Dubai, his extradition and what’s next in the ongoing court case.

Kinahan denies the charges against him and an application for bail is to be made on his behalf.

The ‘Putney Pusher’ case has resurfaced in recent months after an inquest into a suspect's death was opened… but after 9 years, we are still no closer to an ID on the suspect.
So what are the processes of the police in identification and could there be new clues uncovered after all this time? Andy and Neil answer your questions
Then: what it really takes to make a film like Andy's recent ‘London gangs special report’. What goes on behind the scenes and how many months of build up does it take to complete?
Plus, what is a serving officer obliged to do off duty? And how much of the law do you take into your personal life? Neil explains all on why the badge is a 24/7 responsibility.
And the case for prevention: Glasgow's decade-long experiment, youth workers waiting at hospital bedsides, and the chicken shop moment that explains what policing is really about.

In September 2022, a Met firearms officer shot and killed Chris Kaba. What followed divided the country: protests and grief on one side, a mass walkout of armed officers on the other, and in the middle, a murder trial almost unprecedented in British policing.
In this episode, Andy and Neil go back through what happened that night and what happened in court. Should the officer ever have been put on trial? Should jurors have known about Kaba's criminal history earlier? And can a split-second decision taken behind a gun ever be fairly judged months later in a courtroom?
With Neil's experience of signing off firearms operations at the highest level, and Andy's extensive contacts within the Met's firearms unit, this is the full story behind one of the most controversial police incidents of recent years - and how it has changed British policing forever.

Arrests at an RAF base on suspicion of terrorist offences, then bail. For many people - including President Trump - this didn't add up. Andy and Neil start this Q&A by explaining what police bail actually is and why the five suspects weren't held on remand for longer. Plus, they examine the likelihood of a hostile state - such as Iran - being involved in whatever happened in Gloucestershire in the early hours of Sunday morning.
They also discuss whether the police can and should be doing any more to crack down on the activities of individuals such as Danny Tommo, who was recently charged with criminal damage after an incident in the Channel. And can any more be done to protect the RNLI, who are coming under increasing hostility from far-right activists?
Andy & Neil also respond to the news that Scotland Yard is re-examining CCTV in the Jill Dando case. How much can enhancement technology realistically pull out of such old tape — and 27 years on, what would detectives genuinely need to turn a blurred figure on a screen into a named suspect?
And Mick asks about the Parole Board's decision to hear Jon Venables' latest review in private, despite James Bulger's mother Denise Fergus asking for it to be held in public. She says secrecy fuels misinformation, so who is a private hearing really protecting? And should victims' families have a say in that call?

Thousands of people hand Tommy Robinson their money. But very few of them know where it ends up.
In this episode, Andy is joined by investigative journalist Matt Shea, who has spent months following the money around Stephen Yaxley-Lennon - the man better known as Tommy Robinson.
Matt explains why he focused on the finances rather than the politics: the donation buckets, the fundraising appeals, the crypto promotions and the companies that handled the money but never filed accounts.
He describes meeting a Telford grooming gang survivor who says her story was used in Robinson's own film, and that she never received a penny. And he tells Andy why Sir Max Hill, the former Director of Public Prosecutions, believes there's a case for a perjury investigation.
Robinson denies perjury, denies any financial wrongdoing, and his full response is read out in the episode.
