Revenue seizes €15,500 cash at Rosslare Europort

Yesterday (02/06/2017) at Rosslare Europort, Revenue Officers seized €15,500 in cash when they stopped and searched two vehicles arriving in Rosslare from Cherbourg in France.

The vehicles were stopped in routine operations. The drivers, both Romanian nationals, were questioned and the cash, suspected to be the proceeds of, or intended for use in, criminal activity, was seized. At a special sitting of Gorey District Court late last night, Judge Haughton granted a three month detention order to allow Revenue to investigate further. These investigations are ongoing.
