Two men were arrested in Dublin following a garda investigation into money laundering of over €3 million.
Gardai seized 14 false IDs and a number of electronic devices after a search of a property in Drumcondra.
Two Romanian nationals, aged 21 and 31 were arrested and detained under the provisions of section 50 CJA 2007, as amended, at Kevin Street Garda Station.
The arrests come as part of the GNECB’s enquiries into money laundering of over €3 million by an organised crime gang through false bank accounts in the past year in Ireland and Finland.
A garda spokeswoman said: “Enquiries are ongoing with financial institutions in Ireland, with Europol and Eurojust into the activities of this organised crime gang.
“This brings the total number of arrests to 11, in Ireland, along with a further 3 arrests in Finland, all as part of this investigation.”
