Watch: €15m worth of cocaine seized in Ireland after global crime platform infiltrated

At a press conference in Dublin, Detective Chief Superintendent Seamus Boland said that the Kinahan crime gang was 'no longer the primary organised crime gang in this jurisdiction'

Representatives from Europol, the Australian Federal Police and Federal Bureau of Investigation were in Ireland for the operation.

The infiltration of an encrypted communication tool used for criminal activities worldwide has led to the seizure of €15m worth of cocaine and 11 arrests in Ireland.

The platform, known as Ghost, was used to facilitate criminal activity including drug trafficking, money laundering and instances of extreme violence, authorities said.
