Money trail-arrests pile pressure on Sinn Fein
Posted: Fri Feb 18, 2005 5:05 pm
Sinn Fein's leadership was reeling last night after the IRA was implicated in what is likely to be the biggest money laundering racket ever uncovered on either side of the Border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The discovery of more than 3.9m in sterling and euro led to the arrest of seven people, including a Sinn Fein political activist, and a spate of searches of offices and homes of several professional people. Irish Police (An Garda) hinted of a definite link between the confiscated money and the Belfast Northern Bank raid last December.
