GARDAÍ hope to interview mother-of-three Helen Judge today or tomorrow in a bid to piece together who kidnapped her and why.

Garda inquiry into kidnapping

Reliable sources also confirmed yesterday that gardaí are not investigating her husband Liam Judge for any involvement in drug trafficking.

This follows media claims that Mr Judge, a 48-year-old haulier, is connected to a major Dublin dealer and, in turn, to one of the country’s biggest traffickers based in the Netherlands. Allegations have been made that a Dublin dealer, from Baldoyle, and his Amsterdam boss, known as the Penguin, suspected Judge of passing information to the gardaí about their drug shipments, some of which were intercepted. Garda sources rejected claims that Judge was an informant and stress they do not suspect him of involvement in drugs.
