IRA ‘laundered €250m in just three years’

THE IRA stashed away €250 million in “dirty money” through a tiny bureau de change over just three years, broadcaster TV3 will claim tonight.

The money was laundered — or turned into untraceable money — by the Provisional IRA to fund its terrorism campaign across Ireland and Britain.

The claims are made in TV3’s show Dirty Money, which is fronted by Sunday World crime correspondent Paul Williams.
