GARDAÍ have seized an estimated €4million in cash after a raid in Kerry as part of an operation targeting a feared Dublin-based organised crime gang. It followed intelligence about the operations of the Dublin crime gang and lengthy surveillance of their logistical network in Kerry and Laois. They rank as one of the most feared organised crime operations in Dublin. Garda sources indicated that the seizure represents a major blow for the Dublin crime gang and a serious disruption of their financial network. It represents the latest success by gardaí against organised crime gangs with a number of high-profile drug seizures in Ireland and the prosecution of a leading crime figure overseas for alleged travel documentation breaches.
