Court appearances in connection with investigation into money laundering and proceeds of crime

18 people are due to appear before Dublin District Courts this morning as a result of an ongoing operation targeting people benefiting from the proceeds of crime in the North Dublin area.

Operation Satailt is a dedicated response by An Garda Síochána, targeting money laundering and the proceeds of crime by focusing on persons who have profited from drug dealing, drug related intimidation and extortion.

As part of Operation Satailt, Gardaí have charged 14 males and 4 females and referred one juvenile to the Garda Youth Diversion Programme.

The 18 people due before court this morning are charged with over 80 offences relating to money laundering, theft, and possession of drugs for sale or supply.
