The garda ombudsman has sent a file to the Director of Public Prosecutions regarding alleged criminality by a senior garda who imported gun parts through official channels that ended up with a private gun club.

The garda was completely cleared of any wrongdoing in an internal Garda Síochána inquiry. However, Fiosrú, formerly known as Gsoc, conducted its own investigation and referred it to the DPP.
