An Irish woman has been sentenced to three years in a Norwegian prison after being caught with nearly 30 kilogrammes of cannabis in her luggage. Jamie Mahon, 32, from Drogheda, Co Louth, was arrested at Oslo’s Gardermoen Airport on January 9th, following an X-ray that revealed two suitcases packed with cannabis, valued at approximately 600,000 euros (22.5 million baht).

 

Mahon, who arrived on a flight from Bangkok, initially claimed the bags were given to her in Thailand, asserting she was unaware of their contents and was merely transiting through Norway on her way to Ireland. However, the court saw through her defence. Describing her role as crucial to drug distribution, the judge found her guilty of acting intentionally as a courier.

 

Images show Mahon at Bangkok airport collecting the baggage moments before her flight to Norway. Despite admitting to the charges, Mahon will have her three-year sentence reduced by 92 days, already served.

 

This arrest is a significant setback for an Irish organised crime gang linked to two fugitive brothers, one based in Dubai and the other believed to be in Thailand. The seized drugs were meant to fund an ongoing feud between these brothers' gang and associates of paralysed mob boss Owen Maguire, a conflict already resulting in multiple deaths.

 

Maguire was shot by notorious hitman Robbie Lawlor in 2018, leaving him paralysed. Lawlor was later killed in Belfast in 2020, the main suspect in the brutal murder of 17-year-old Keane Mulready-Woods, whose remains were found in one of Ireland’s most shocking gangland crimes.

 

Recently, gang associates Paul Crosby and Gerard “Rocky” Cruise were jailed for facilitating Mulready-Woods' murder, receiving ten and seven-year sentences respectively. Mahon’s arrest and conviction add another grim chapter to this violent saga, echoing through a Norwegian courtroom.

Wonder if it is linked to the Kinahan family empire? Members of that family based in Dubai.

 

Some interesting documentaries about them on various platforms including BBC iPlayer.

 

The main man is big into his boxing and was linked to Tyson Fury but I think Fury has subsequently distanced himself after certain stories have hit the media.
