Fred: Who buys these designer labels? Are they being sold in shops like Weirs of Grafton Street or for that matter Brown Thomas? I suspect that these criminals are such global travellers they have identified the best markets and it is no longer Harrods, London, or Bond Street, but Dubai. UAE, the centre for all global transport that is so divided between those of us and the mere serfs ie them. The “Us” have an over the top representation of criminals and drug traffickers. One only has to look to the Cartel that has Ireland destroyed with drugs. I think the name is Kinahan. The UAE fail to act to allow his extradition to Ireland to face charges. I wonder why but then the main leader there … has an Irish passport. Why not? Horses are popular with the Arabs? Goffs I am sure are well known in that part of the world.
