The Criminal Assets Bureau is investigating the fugitive Donegal waste operator Jim Ferry. Last August the High Court ordered Mr Ferry arrested and jailed indefinitely following his failure to comply with an earlier order of the court. Mr Ferry is a serial polluter with multiple convictions for illegal dumping since at least 1999. Ferry’s collections are now done by Wers Waste of Galway, operating as Wers Donegal, to whom Mr Ferry claims to have sold his business. Donegal council said on Tuesday that as there were “ongoing legal proceedings, it is not appropriate to comment at this point”.
