Two men are due in court this morning charged in connection with the criminal activities of a West Dublin organised crime group.<\/p>\n
The men were arrested at their respective homes in Dublin and Wexford last night and are facing organised crime, drugs and money laundering charges.<\/p>\n
They are being detained as part of an investigation by the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau into the criminal communications platform known as Ghost.<\/p>\n
Gardai say the network was established to facilitate serious and organised crime by dangerous criminal networks operating on a global scale and was used for 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.<\/p>\n
Detectives arrested a 56-year-old man at his home in West Dublin last night and a 64-year-old in Gorey in Co Wexford.<\/p>\n
Both are due before the Dublin District Court later this morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two men are due in court this morning charged in connection with the criminal activities of a West…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":438498,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[61,60,43],"class_list":["post-438497","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/438497","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=438497"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/438497\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/438498"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=438497"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=438497"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=438497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
