Gardaí uncover massive diesel laundering plant

GARDAÍ and Customs officials have uncovered one of the largest diesel laundering plants ever discovered, North or South, at Tyholland in Co Monaghan, 2km from the Co Armagh border.

The early morning raid uncovered the massive underground chamber in which it is estimated around €10 million litres of illegal diesel a year could be laundered at an estimated loss of revenue to the state of €6m per annum.

Gardaí say no arrests have yet been made but add that investigations are ongoing.
