Two more Irishmen joined Flynn and Cunningham on Bulgaria trip

TWO more Irish citizens travelled to Bulgaria in connection with activities which are under investigation as part of an alleged IRA money laundering operation.

The two men travelled as part of a group of six that included Cork businessman Ted Cunningham and former Government aide Phil Flynn on a week-long trip to the capital, Sofia, at the end of January.

Their names are known to the Irish Examiner but are not disclosed for legal reasons. One of the men is believed to be a speculator.
