CAB to seek approval to confiscate crime cartel assets

The Criminal Assets Bureau is expected to go to the High Court this week to begin the legal process to confiscate assets seized from the Kinahan crime cartel over three weeks ago.

While officers do not know if those targeted in the search operation will object to the seizure applications, gardaí say the individuals are “furious” and expect them to fight CAB.

In a dramatic swoop on 18 properties on March 9, CAB, assisted by gardaí and backed up by heavily armed units, seized 35 expensive vehicles.
