Gardaí are examining evidence gathered in a major search operation against a significant Romanian crime group involved in organised prostitution.

Detectives intend to build a case on money laundering charges against the leaders and operators of the gang. More than 100 gardaí took part in Wednesday's operation which hit addresses in Dublin and the wider Eastern Region.
