Irish police and the Criminal Assets Bureau have seized around 100,000 euros in cash during raids in Cork on Tuesday. Independent.ie, the Irish Examiner, the Irish Mirror, and the Irish Independent all reported that the operation targeted an Eastern European organised crime group. Officers searched 15 locations across Cork, including both homes and businesses. [1][2][3][4]

The Irish Examiner reported that around 100 personnel took part in the coordinated searches. The Criminal Assets Bureau led the operation, supported by the Cork County and City Detective and Drug Units, the Regional Armed Support Unit, and the Garda Customs Dog Units. Along with the cash, officers seized documents and electronic devices. [2]

As FTMQ News reported earlier, Irish police have conducted several high-profile operations in recent weeks. Officers seized 2.5 million euros worth of cocaine and firearms in Dublin on November 3, and confiscated luxury vehicles and items valued at tens of thousands of euros in a charity money laundering investigation on October 22.
