UK and Irish police seized £3M in cash and made 9 arrests in a cross-border drug and money-laundering crackdown.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) seized over £3 million in cash following the disruption of a cross-border money-laundering network in Newry, targeting a sophisticated organized crime group involved in drug smuggling from Europe into the UK, including Northern Ireland.
Nine arrests have been made in connection with the money-laundering investigation, and three others in July related to drug smuggling.
The NCA, working with the Police Service of Northern Ireland, is also pursuing asset denial efforts, with £1.5 million in Northern Ireland assets frozen or under investigation and over £3 million in linked assets held in Great Britain.
A £300,000 property was recently frozen under a court order.
NCA chief Graeme Biggar cited increasing drug trafficking through the Common Travel Area via ferries and drop-offs, noting further seizures and arrests are expected.
