Gardaí who searched the address of one of four men accused of having equipment for printing counterfeit currency found boxes containing paper samples and cartridges for large format printers, the Special Criminal Court has heard.

The trial of four men accused of having equipment for printing counterfeit currency has heard that machines found in a bunker hidden under a yard where the men were arrested were used to print a range of images.

A former leading member of the Provisional IRA and prison escaper was one of four men who appeared at the Special Criminal Court today charged with possessing equipment to make counterfeit money.
