According to Justice Minister Charlie Flanagan, the Bureau brought the largest number of new 'Proceeds of Crime' cases before the courts ever last year
The targeting of the Kinahan crime gang in 2018 by the Criminal Assets Bureau contributed to the bureau returning a bumper €5.6 million to the State last year.
He said: “The increased resources of the CAB have given rise to substantially increased levels of Bureau activity in recent years, and its successful operations have become a regular feature in media reports.” In 2018, the bureau carried out 34 search operations, some of them involving highly co-ordinated, simultaneous raids on multiple sites.
