"Several operations have been carried out this year in major gang crackdown. Gardaí have seized almost €2m in cash from a Russian crime network that laundered drug money for the Kinahan cartel while also funding espionage missions. Officers have said that the Smart and TGR groups turned over billions of euro globally by "cleaning" dirty cash for Europe's top drugs gangs and helping Russian elites evade financial sanctions."

Gardaí seized almost €2m in cash from a Russian crime network that laundered drug money for the Kinahan cartel and financed espionage missions. Law enforcement identified the Smart and TGR groups as laundering channels that turned over billions of euros globally by "cleaning" illicit cash for major European drug gangs. Those groups also assisted Russian elites in evading financial sanctions. Several operations this year formed part of a broader gang crackdown targeting transnational money-laundering and sanction-evasion networks tied to organised crime.
