IRA millions as gardaí step up massive investigation

MILLIONS more in laundered IRA cash will be uncovered in an investigation that could last at least six months, garda sources said last night.

The Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) has already begun raiding premises across the country, including Cork, Dublin, Louth and Offaly, using companies registered by financier and registered money lender Ted Cunningham as a base.

CAB is examining all the financial transactions these companies have engaged in. This brings any other company that traded with Cunningham’s companies into the ambit of the investigation.
