A man is due to appear in court this afternoon charged in connection with the seizure of over \u20ac8 million worth of heroin and cocaine.<\/p>\n
The suspect, in his 40s, is to be brought before the Criminal Courts of Justice (CCJ) at approximately 4.30pm.<\/p>\n
The drugs were seized as part of an operation targeting a major drug dealing gang with national and international connections.<\/p>\n
Sixteen properties were searched over a two-day period this week, \u20ac63,000 and \u00a338,000 in cash were also recovered.<\/p>\n
It is the fourth significant seizure from the organised crime group over the past year and a half and brings to over \u20ac12m the amount of drugs seized, along with luxury cars, high powered motorbikes, designer goods and property deeds.<\/p>\n
This seizure is the latest in a series of operations over the last 18 months targeting a major organised crime group known as \u2018The Family\u2019, which garda\u00ed described as a well structured criminal organisation it is working to dismantle.<\/p>\n
Over 60 garda\u00ed from various armed, local and specialist units, led by the Terenure Drugs Unit, searched 16 properties across south and west Dublin, Meath, Westmeath, Laois, and Offaly.<\/p>\n
More than 110kg of cocaine and 1.5kg of heroin, with an estimated street value of \u20ac8.2m were seized from two vans.<\/p>\n
\u00a338,000 and \u20ac63,000, believed to be drug money, were also recovered.<\/p>\n
