Two people have been arrested after a property in south Dublin was searched as part of an investigation into alleged international money laundering.

The investigation stemmed from a number of international complaints being made, with suspicious activity identified in a number of bank accounts involving money transactions from more than 15 countries across Europe.

The transactions are suspected to be the proceeds of crime and ‘money mule’ transactions.

Gardaí, members of the Criminal Assets Bureau and Europol officers executed a search warrant on an address in Blackrock yesterday.

So far, gardaí have seized more than €3.25m in cryptocurrencies and €20,000 in cash.

Documents and digital devices have also been seized.

A man and woman, both aged in their 30s, were arrested at the Blackrock property yesterday.

They have been detained under Section 50 of the Criminal Justice Act, 2007 at a garda station in Dublin.

Gardaí say investigations are ongoing.
