Officer may have had links with Hutch organised crime group
Gardaí are understood to have carried out a search of the man’s home and seized a significant amount of cash as well as documents, laptops and phones. Ammunition was also found at the property, although the officer in question is understood to hold a firearms licence.
The Special Detective Unit, where the officer worked, is responsible for the investigation of threats to State security and the monitoring of people who pose a threat to this on both national and international fronts, such as terrorist and organised crime groups. RTÉ has reported that the detective worked in the unit for a number of years and has been involved in several investigations into serious crime and paramilitary activity, including giving evidence to high-profile court cases where individuals were charged with membership of the IRA and explosives offences.
