€638K Cash Haul! Man Arrested After Gardaí Sting in West Dublin
Massive Money Seizure in Cabra
A man in his 30s was nabbed by Gardaí after officers stopped a vehicle in Cabra, West Dublin, on Wednesday afternoon. They seized a staggering €638,000 in cash during the operation, which kicked off around 4pm.
Crackdown Under Operation Tara
The arrest is part of Operation Tara, a Garda National Drugs & Organised Crime Bureau (GNDOCB) probe targeting organised crime gangs. Following the vehicle stop, officers raided a nearby home in Cabra where they found the cash stash, a money counting device, and other gear linked to money laundering.
Man in 30s Held for Money Laundering
“One male (aged in his 30s) was arrested pursuant to Section 72 of the Criminal Justice Act 2006 in relation to facilitating and enhancing money laundering activities for an organised crime group and is currently detained under Section 50 of the Criminal Justice Act 2007 at a Dublin Garda Station.”
Photos released by Gardaí show massive bundles of cash, underlining the jaw-dropping scale of the find.
Ongoing Investigation to Dismantle Crime Network
The arrested man remains in custody as Gardaí continue their investigation into the wider criminal network behind the operation. This bust delivers another major blow to organised crime in Dublin. Authorities vow to keep up the fight against money laundering and drug offences across Ireland.
