Gardaí has frozen two bank accounts containing more than 260,000 euros in connection with two ongoing investigations by the Office of Criminal Assets.
More than 150,000 euros were frozen in one of the accounts after Gardaí was contacted by a US federal agency investigating a company involved in the illegal manufacture of drugs.
The agency had identified an Irish bank account that was being used to receive funds, as well as to transfer them to an account in another country, as part of its investigation.
Gardaí says this investigation is ongoing.
On the other hand, Gardaí froze a second account that contained 110,000 euros, following a seizure at the end of October directed at an organized crime group.
Gardaí conducted searches at two residential properties and three professional properties in Dublin and Wicklow on October 29, where a 201 Reg BMW car, as well as Rolex watches and designer clothing, were seized.
They have called today’s operation a “significant advance” in the investigation of the group’s assets.
