Ex-CAB boss’s role in weapons sting

FORMER CAB boss Barry Galvin has told how he helped to nab an international supplier for the Iranian missile programme in his latest role in cleaning up the criminal justice system in the Seychelles.

The man responsible for waging war on drugs barons in Ireland after the murder of Veronica Guerin was hired by the government of the Indian Ocean islands to help combat corruption and money laundering.

In the RTÉ series Hostile Environment, the former chief legal officer and founder of CAB reveals how he was signed up to help clean up the paradise islands by bringing in the Al Capone-style laws that collared Ireland’s biggest crime lords.
