Show Notes
James ‘Mago’ Gately was a man the Kinahan Cartel desperately wanted - so much so that they went for an overseas hitman to take down the Hutch gang boss.
This episode tells the story of Imre Arakas and his one day in Dublin as a free man, unaware that Gardaí were following his every move across the city.
The Cartel would go again at Mago, refusing to let him off the hook.
And we hear of another botched hit, as Garda wire taps take listeners inside a dopey hit team hired to take out Michael Frazer - a man dubbed ‘Mickey Nine Lives’ after surviving several assassin’s bullets.
