GARDAÍ AND SPANISH police have carried out searches in both Ireland and Spain this morning, in what a Garda spokesperson said were targetting a “Transnational Criminal Organisation”.
Ten searches were carried out in Spain by authorities from the Guardia Civil, with assistance from members of the Garda National Bureau of Criminal Investigation (GNBCI).
Meanwhile, one search took place at a house in Dublin, after Gardaí received an International Letter of Request/ Mutual Legal Assistance (ILOR) from Spanish authorities.
An officer from the Guardia Civil was in attendance at the search in Dublin, along with personnel from the Criminal Assets Bureau and Emergency Response Unit.
This morning’s operation is part of ongoing liaison between the GNBCI and Guardia Civil, targetting an as of yet unnamed Transnational Organised Crime Group who are located both in Ireland and Spain.
A search targeting the group was conducted in Lanzarote in June 2022 by Guardia Civil on behalf of GNBCI.
