‘There’s no hiding place in the sun’

GARDA Commissioner Fachtna Murphy warned Irish drug traffickers “who hide in the sun, in some foreign clime” that they would not escape justice.

‘There’s no hiding place in the sun’

Speaking on the back of yesterday’s international operation against Ireland’s biggest drug trafficking gang, Mr Murphy said it was now up to the prosecutors to pursue the evidence gathered by police forces in Spain, Britain and Ireland.

Speaking outside the offices of the Garda National Drugs Unit (GNDU), Mr Murphy said: “There’s no hiding place for people who seek to wreak misery on our young people. Because people go off to the sun or hide in the sun, or hide in some foreign clime and think the borders can help them conceal their ill-gotten gains from trafficking illicit drugs, there is no hiding place and police co-operation is the way to achieve that. This operation is a classic example of co-operation across borders.”
