Irish-based Chinese crime group laundered cash, CAB alleges in High Court

Mr Justice Alexander Owens was satisfied the bureau made out a case that a money laundering operation involved people who immigrated to Ireland years ago from China.

An Irish-based Chinese organised crime group has laundered millions of euros of drug trafficking proceeds on behalf of Irish criminals, the Criminal Assets Bureau has alleged in the High Court.

CAB said that for a fee, members of the Chinese group provided a route for Irish-based criminals to access their criminal proceeds overseas.
