A trusted gang "adherent" known as ‘Rocket Man’ who laundered hundreds of thousands of euro for the Kinahan cartel has been jailed for five years and three months by the Special Criminal Court this morning, while his partner and co-accused has walked from court with a suspended sentence.
Jonathan Harding, of Kerdiff Avenue, Naas, Co Kildare, was caught after he was spotted by gardai leaving an arsenal of firearms and ammunition that could "arm a small country".
Sources told Sunday World that he became a focus of major garda attention after dozens of trips were made out of the country to Spain’s Costa-Del-Crime by cartel gang members.
