About € 46,000 believed to have come from criminal activities were seized this week in Rosslare after a vehicle was stopped while boarding a ferry to Cherbourg in France.
Detector dog Flynn helped revenue officers during a routine profiling session identify a vehicle carrying € 45,635 at Rosslare Europort on Tuesday. Four people, originally from Romania, were questioned in connection with the seizure and investigations are ongoing.
Revenue agents received a three-month cash warrant on the money seized by Judge Miriam Walsh in Gorey District Court on Thursday.
A statement from the Revenue office said that the cash is suspected of being the proceeds of, or intended to be used in, criminal activity, and that he was detained in accordance with the proceeds of crime legislation.
Tuesday’s operation involving detector dog Flynn was part of Revenue’s ongoing work targeting smuggling activity and the black economy.
Businesses or members of the public who have any information that may help maintain their operations are encouraged to contact the Revenue Office confidentially at 1800 295 295.
