Gardaí seize €200k in cash concealed in car

Gardaí uncovered €200,000 in cash in a secret compartment of a vehicle that was stopped as part of an operation against a major drug-trafficking gang.

Officers suspect the cash, the second-biggest haul by gardaí this year, was about to be handed over to pay for a sizeable drug shipment coming into the country.

The gang, based in the Crumlin and south-inner-city area of Dublin, is loosely affiliated with, but separate to, the Kinahan crime cartel.
