An Garda Síochána has seized a car and cattle transporter with an estimated €400,000 in cash on board at a lay-by on the N25 near Rosslare, Co Wexford.
Gardaí arrested two men in the process, one Irish national aged 50 and the other, a Polish national, aged 35 on suspicion of money laundering.
Organised crime
The arrests were made during the course of an ongoing intelligence-led investigation targeting serious and organised crime.
"This significant seizure of cash by the Garda National Drugs & Organised Crime Bureau follows closely after another seizure of a substantial quantity of cash last week, bringing the total amount of cash seized by that bureau so far in 2020 to about €1m,” assistant commissioner John O’Driscoll of Special Crime Operations said.
