Loyalists’ hidden wealth targeted

SECRET bank accounts of loyalists, who pay their men in drugs and prostitutes, are to be probed in a major British government offensive against paramilitaries, it was revealed last night.

The new Assets Recovery Agency chief for Northern Ireland, Alan McQuillan, vowed to travel the world in a bid to seize the hidden wealth of terrorists and other crime families.

The first cases are expected to come before the courts by the autumn.
