Psychotic Kinahan-linked enforcer Scott Capper blows kiss in court after sentencing

GANGLAND enforcer Scott Capper has made peace with his family – after previously being excluded from home before he was later jailed.

The psychotic criminal – who is already behind bars serving a sentence for two brutal assaults – was last week handed another two-and-a-half years for the theft of a cash box with €50,000 inside just over two years ago.

At the time, Capper was effectively homeless as he was not allowed to live at his Finglas home in Dublin in 2019 because his cocaine addiction had become so bad.

The 27-year-old had also become embroiled in gangland crime, acting as muscle for the Kinahan-linked Mr Flashy’s gang.

But last week at Mullingar Circuit Court, Capper’s mother along with other family members turned up to support her son as he was given a further stretch in jail.

After it concluded, he blew a kiss and exchanged some words but Capper was not allowed to hug his family members present.


A source said: “Capper was out of control before he was sent down.

"He was relatively quiet in his younger years but when he found drugs and got close to Flashy, he became involved in serious crime.”


Capper was actively involved in feuds for Flashy’s gang, including a dispute in Finglas and later in Corduff, Blanchardstown when they backed former members of the Westies gang who went to war with a local drug dealing mob over turf.

Capper is currently in jail over two assaults in 2016.
