GARDAÍ HAVE SEIZED cash, designer bags, and documents after 24 searches across counties Meath and Dublin. 

With 72 Criminal Assets Bureau and Garda personnel involved in the searches, a total of 24 searches were conducted, which included 11 residential properties, one office and one business premises and 11 professional premises.

Among the items seized was €35,000 in cash, a 162 Hyundai Tucson, three high-value watches (Rolex and Chopard), designer handbags, electronic storage devices, and documentation in relation to financial and property transactions.
