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.
