THE sentencing of senior Kinahan Cartel mobster Thomas ‘Bomber’ Kavanagh over a drugs trafficking and money laundering conspiracy has been delayed due to Covid-19.
The veteran criminal and two associates face lengthy jail terms after admitting to involvement in the criminal conspiracy in the UK following a four-year investigation.
Kavanagh (53) is expected to contest certain facts of the prosecution’s case against him which could impact on the severity of the sentence he receives.
This had been scheduled to take place at a so-called ‘Newton Hearing’ at Ipswich Crown Court on February 15 prior to the three men being sentenced.
However, the hearing date has now been vacated due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and a new court date has not yet been confirmed.

A GANG flooded Swindon with cannabis and cocaine – even dealing the drugs further afield. The gang of six, three members of which have already been given more than 16 years’ worth of jail, supplied high purity cocaine and “designer” cannabis to dealers and directly to users.

The Bristol end Ashley Hunt and Nicholas Bullock, both 31, were the two at the Bristol end of the chain. Hunt was the link man – arranging drop-offs with Swindonian Kyle Rigley, 28. Bullock was the bagman; the man surveillance officers clocked handing over a shoebox-sized package to Jack Young, 29, and Kyle Rigley in Bristol on October 9, 2018.
