The Irish Kinahan cartel has long been known to deal in drugs, guns and fraud. Now we can reveal its links to the cage fighter whose ships smuggle Iranian oil.⁠ ⁠ Last week, when the first picture of Kinahan in four years emerged, the person at his side was the 38-year-old Tunisian fighter Mounir Lazzez.⁠ ⁠ An investigation by The Sunday Times and the open-source investigative group Bellingcat reveals how Lazzez is not just a former cage fighter. He is a key figure in shipping crude oil from Iran to China, which bypasses global sanctions and finances the Iranian regime.⁠
