Major Garda operation underway in the Midlands

Parts of the Midlands are the subject of a major Garda operation this Thursday morning, September 6.

The major search operation is currently underway at 15 premises across Dublin, Louth, Meath, Kildare and Laois.

The operation is being led by the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau, who are investigating the activities of a West-African Criminal Network suspected to be involved in the laundering of €14.6 million in criminal proceeds through Irish bank accounts.

Assisting G.N.E.C.B are Gardaí from the Northern, Eastern and Dublin Metropolitan Regions, along with Officers from the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau, and the Armed Support Units.

Among the matters under investigation is the possibility that laundered money may have been used by this Criminal Network to fund the purchase of property and other high-value items across the country.
