Court order on €200k Traveller assets

THE Criminal Assets Bureau was granted a court order yesterday to dispose of up to €200,000 linked to a Traveller family based in Waterford city.

The High Court issued the order after dealing with the fifth and final person targeted by the CAB in the operation.

The agency carried out raids at the Kilbarry Halting Site in the Ballybeg area of the city in April 2005 as part of an operation involving 35 local gardaí.
