Jailed for seven years at HM Prison Highpoint North in Suffolk, Traynor was granted compassionate leave to visit his wife and children in Templeogue, but he never returned.
At the time of her murder, in 1996, Traynor was seeking a High Court order against Guerin to prevent her from publishing a book about his involvement in organised crime.
[6] The Criminal Assets Bureau was later successful in the High Court, when a judgment mortgage was registered on the Arbour Hill shop, with the seizure of a significant portion of the disposal of a property owned by Traynor in Waterford.
On or around 22 August 2010, in a joint operation with the UK's Serious Organised Crime Agency, the Regiokorpsen (Dutch regional police) arrested Traynor in Amstelveen.
[1] After extradition, Traynor served the remainder of his sentence in medium security Highpoint Prison, where, after several heart attacks, he had to undergo a triple bypass.
