Gardai were last night questioning two Dublin Airport workers after officers seized cocaine worth more than €1million.
Sources have confirmed that two of the three men arrested are suspected of helping a gang smuggle previous shipments into Ireland. The pair are not Dublin Airport Authority staff but are employed by a company that provides a service there.
They both have airside security access and detectives suspect both men used that clearance to help smuggle drugs. The pair and another man were arrested following Monday’s seizure – part of an intelligence-led operation by the Garda National Drugs and organised Crime Bureau and Revenue Customs Service.
