A man was questioned by gardai after officers discovered a large sum of cash on him at Dublin Airport.
Officers seized over €250,000 worth of cash that has been suspected to be the proceeds of, or intended for use in, criminal activity. The man, in his 50s from Sweden, was taken to Ballymun Garda Station for questioning yesterday.
The large sum of money was found as a result of routine profiling when a passenger was stopped and searched before departing on a flight to Stansted. Revenue officers were granted a three-month cash detention order by Judge Kevin Staunton in relation to the incident.
