Man arrested by gardaí for alleged involvement in recruiting money mules

Gadaí carried out a search in Tallaght this morning.

GARDAÍ HAVE ARRESTED a man following a raid on a home in Tallaght this morning.

Officers attached to the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau (GNECB) are investigating the recruitment and organisation of money mules.

Money mules are people who allow their bank accounts to be used by criminals usually to facilitate money laundering. 

This morning, gardaí raided a house and arrested a 26-year-old man in connection with their investigation. 

A garda spokesman said: “This search and arrest was undertaken as part of an ongoing GNECB strategy to identify and target those involved in the recruitment and organisation of money mules for criminal organisations involved in cyber enabled crimes such as invoice re-direct, smishing/vishing/phishing, account takeover and money laundering.”

This man is currently detained at Tallaght Garda Station.

    Fair play to him.
    It’s not easy to overcome all the red tape and bureaucracy that was put in his way.

    Fair play to someone for making a go of a thing but isn’t glamping essentially camping in permanent structures? So sort of non camping camping like a chalet resort with a special name on it? It’s “put a fancy name on and whack the prices up”-ery.

    I would be very wary of being near, or getting into, any ex-Transaero aircraft given that Transaero lied to the British authorities following the Russian state sponsored assassination of Alexander Litvinenko, an ex KGB agent and critic of Vladimir Putin. It turned out the two Russian suspects in Mr Litvinenko’s murder travelled several times on Transaero aircraft between Moscow and London carrying quantities of Plonium 210, the radioactive substance used to kill him in a London restaurant. When the British authorities asked Transaero to test their aircraft for radioactive contamination Transaero said they had and they were all clear. However, when the Metropolitan Police impounded a Transaero aircraft at Heathrow as part of their investigation into Mr Litvinenko’s murder, they found it to be contaminated with the substance used to kill him. I, for one, would not get into a Transaero aircraft, decommissioned or otherwise.
