Gardaí hopeful of crime boss prosecution

GARDAÍ are hopeful of bringing a prosecution against one of Dublin’s major crime bosses.

In a low-key operation led by the Organised Crime Unit (OCU), armed officers arrested the gang boss and an associate in the Malahide area of north Dublin.

Gardaí stopped the two men last Friday and, when they searched a nearby car, they found a loaded semi-automatic Glock handgun.
