Daniel Kinahan-linked Scots beauty firm being forced to shut down

A SCOTS cosmetics firm linked to suspected Irish crime boss Daniel Kinahan is being forced into closure. Global Beauty Enterprises Ltd — run by associate Sandra McClumpha, 57, — is being liquidated by court order. Sandra McClumpha with suspected Irish crime boss Daniel Kinahan Kinahan is facing trial in Dublin charged with directing the activities of a criminal organisation Companies House records show the Glasgow-based outfit had been subject to several compulsory strike-off notices over the previous year. McClumpha and her Irish business associate Ronan Cruise, 60, are directors. Its looming demise comes as Kinahan, 49, is facing trial in Dublin charged with directing the activities of a criminal organisation. He has been remanded in custody since being extradited from Dubai to Ireland earlier this month. McClumpha was a director of Kinahan-linked boxing business Global Promotions Management, formerly called MTK Global. We told how she was pictured with him weeks before a £3.7million bounty was put on him as part of a global manhunt four years ago. McClumpha, of Uddingston, near Glasgow, posed for the photo with the alleged crimelord as they met a senior Pakistani politician in Dubai. The US Department of State announced the huge reward for information leading to the financial disruption or arrest and/or conviction of Kinahan plus his dad Christy Sr, 69, and brother Christy Jr, 45. Officials alleged he headed a “narco-terrorist” group. McClumpha quit as chief executive officer of MTK Global in 2020. Official filings show she has held directorship with 15 firms, including the now-dissolved Fake Bake UK Ltd — a previous sponsor of MTK boxing events. She remains a director of Global Beauty Enterprises plus WBR Global, previously named Browncow Tanning. Daniel Kinahan was brought back to Ireland on Government jet last week Credit: PA Kinahan was taken to Portlaoise by Gardai who drove in a convoy of BMWs Credit: PA Daniel Kinahan was flown to Ireland on an Irish Government jet on Sunday, August 9 and immediately taken by high-speed Garda escort to court in Dublin. He was charged with directing the activities of a criminal organisation. With no legal representation, the Dublin man was remanded into custody and transferred to the maximum-security Portlaoise Prison in the Irish midlands. Kinahan was brought to Portlaoise by Gardai who drove in a convoy of BMWs and was admitted to the A-block. Some of the most high-profile residents in the prison and others facing trial at the Special Criminal Court are housed in the wing. The cell was “refreshed” according to sources, cleaned and given a fresh lick of paint. Kinahan, alleged to be a leader of the Kinahan organised crime group, was arrested in the United Arab Emirates on April 15 on foot of an arrest warrant issued by the Irish courts. This was carried out in accordance with a bilateral agreement on extradition between Ireland and the UAE. The Irish Sun previously revealed that the Kinahan cartel still has “significant people” operating across Ireland. The narco terrorist group’s “principal representative” Ross Browning, 48, remains in the country, but the transnational crime gang no longer has complete control of the entire drugs market. Investigators from the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau believe the Kinahan Organised Crime Group’s leadership in Dubai are working with criminal gangs across Europe to control cocaine supply routes from South America to the continent. And the Gardai believe the Kinahan network is now operating a “franchise business” focusing on the drug wholesale and importation role. Many of the Kinahan associates are no longer part of “cell structures” and are no longer taking orders from their HQ in Dubai. The tight control structures are now regarded by Gardai as “fractured and loose.”
