Phil Muncaster UK / EMEA News Reporter , Infosecurity Magazine
European police have targeted an Irish family thought to have laundered as much as €4m ($4.9m) from elsewhere in the region.
The Criminal Asset Bureau of the Irish National Police ordered raids across four residential properties and one business premises in Tipperary and Kilkenny, resulting in the seizure of €100,000 in cash and a car worth €75,000, according to Europol.
Some 16 bank accounts linked to members of the organized crime group were also frozen, along with funds in them amounting to €540,000.
Europol claimed the seizures were possible because the Irish police operate a model of “non-conviction-based forfeiture” whereby assets can be seized without the need for a prior criminal conviction.

A tiny prototype drone has been developed by BAE Systems and the first 30 units have been sent to the British Army as part of a trial.
The engineering giant collaborated with UK drone maker Uavtek to develop the nano “Bug” drone, an unmanned aerial vehicle that weighs about the same as a standard smartphone and boasts a 40-minute battery life and two-kilometre range.
The drone can fly in winds of more than 80kph. It was the only nano-drone able to cope with the uncompromising weather during a recent Army Warfighting Experiment event hosted by the Ministry of Defence’s Future Capability Group.
