Gardai are working with the UK’s National Crime Agency to identify the body of a man found off the coast of Co Donegal.
It is believed the man may be Robert Wilkin, who was due to go on trial over a multi-million euro drug seizure later this year.
Mr Wilkin, who is from Northern Ireland but was living in Essex at the time of his arrest, was apprehended by the NCA in August 2021 after his lorry was stopped at Coquelles Channel Tunnel with £5.7million worth of cocaine and heroin on board. The drugs were hidden in pallets of Belgian chocolates.
