Over €1 million found in the back of a van during an intelligence-led operation by gardaí was owned by a drugs gang that lost €4 million in cash to the Garda last year.

The family-based group is led by a number of middle aged men from west Dublin. They have previously used the motor trade to launder the proceeds of their crimes and have been investigated in recent years by the Criminal Assets Bureau.

Last year when over €4 million in cash was seized in a number of related searches the family-based gang was linked to the money.
