Revenue granted cash detention order

Revenue officers were granted a three-month cash detention order by Judge John Cheatle at a special sitting of Wexford District Court.

This followed the seizure, on Thursday, of €4,265 cash and a small amount of Bulgarian Lev at Rosslare Europort. The discovery was made when Revenue officers stopped and searched a horse box in which 163kgs of cocaine was also found.

Investigations are ongoing.

These seizures are part of Revenue’s ongoing work targeting smuggling and shadow economy activity. If businesses, or members of the public, have any information, they can contact Revenue in confidence on phone number 1800 295 295.
