Sean McGovern, top lieutenant of the Kinahan cartel and alias ‘Knife,’ just got 24 years for orchestrating brutal gang warfare tied to the deadly Hutch-Kinahan feud. After being extradited from Dubai, he pleaded guilty to directing operations that led to the murder of Noel Kirwan — a civilian caught in the crossfire — and the relentless surveillance of James Gately, a Hutch associate targeted after the infamous 2016 Regency Hotel shooting. McGovern’s rage over Byrne’s death fueled revenge plots, including hiring foreign assassins. Evidence revealed GPS trackers, encrypted phones, and even an Estonian hitman arrested with damning gear. Despite claiming he was just following orders, the court saw him as a key architect — and now he’s behind bars while his boss, Daniel Kinahan, remains in Dubai.
