Drugs worth €15.6m seized in international criminal network crackdown
Gardaí have now seized drugs worth over €15.5 as part of a major international operation linked to a criminal communication platform. The operation has so far seen 11 people arrested in Ireland. Five men were detained in the Dublin and eastern region while six people were previously arrested as part of Garda activity directly related to the investigation. The platform known as Ghost was used to facilitate a wide range of criminal activities including large-scale drug trafficking, money laundering, instances of extreme violence and other forms of serious and organised crime. Gardaí say it had gained traction among criminal organisations due to its advanced security features. “Users could purchase the solution without any personal information,” the force says.
