"Following a number of international complaints into various forms of alleged online fraud an investigation team was established in the DMR East," a Garda spokesperson said.
"Suspicious activity was identified in a number of bank accounts, involving money transactions from hundreds of bank accounts from over 15 countries across Europe, suspected to be the proceeds of crime and 'money mule' transactions."
"This search was part of an ongoing investigation into a range of alleged offences including offences contrary to Section 72 of the Criminal Justice Act, 2006 and to Section 7 of the Money Laundering of the Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) Act, 2010," said a garda spokesperson.
Gardaí have so far seized in excess of €3.25 million in crypto currencies and €20,000 in cash. Other items of potential evidential value including documents and several digital devices have also been seized.
