Two men are due in court this morning in connection with an investigation into alleged connections between garda\u00ed and members of an organised crime group.<\/p>\n
The men were arrested this morning.<\/p>\n
One is a serving Garda in his 40s who is currently on suspension, the other is a former member of An Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na, who is in his 60s.<\/p>\n
They are due to appear before the Dublin District Court.<\/p>\n
The investigation, which is being by the Garda National Bureau of Criminal Investigations, has been ongoing for more than five years.<\/p>\n
The charges arise out of a direction from the Director of Public Prosecutions following the submission of a number of files from An Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na.<\/p>\n
In a statement this morning, Garda Headquarters said the investigation into alleged organised crime activity has been ongoing since 2021.<\/p>\n
