Evidence found in Colombia can be used by gardaí

GARDAÍ travelling to Colombia should be able to use evidence gathered by police there to pursue their investigations here into the Colombia Three, a leading legal expert said yesterday.

Two detectives are due to fly out tomorrow to examine police investigation files and speak to officers involved in the case.

The gardaí will look for any evidence or information against Jim Monaghan, Martin McCauley and Niall Connolly that could be used back in Ireland.
