Murdered paramilitary boss has €1.9m assets seized
The Assets Recovery Agency (ARA) said the civil recovery order granted against the estate of ex-guerrilla boss Jim Johnston at Belfast High Court under new powers targeting organised crime was the first such seizure in the UK to top one million pounds.
“This is an important landmark for the agency and its partners in the fight against organised crime,” said ARA’s Northern Ireland chief Alan McQuillan.
