Criminal Assets Bureau called on to seize €3m made by State-run fund from shares in  Israeli firms

Complaint by human rights organisations calls on CAB to seize revenue obtained through investments in 11 companies involved in war crimes being committed by Israel

Government has strongly ruled out a bill that would criminalise trade with companies operating in illegal Israeli settlements in Palestine.

The Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) has received a complaint calling on it to seize almost €3m made by the State-run Irish Strategic Investment Fund (ISIF) from shares in Israeli companies.

The complaint, the first of its kind in the world, calls on CAB to seize revenue obtained through investments in 11 companies involved in war crimes being committed by Israel.
