Two men charged in connection with €33m drug seizure in Cork
In Cork Gardaí Worth €32 8m Drugs Friday Last Of Seized
Two men have been charged in connection with the seizure of almost €33m worth of drugs in Cork last week.
The two men, both aged in their 40s, were arrested as part of an investigation between gardaí and Revenue in Cork and Kerry.
They are due to appear before a special sitting of Tralee District Court at approximately 1.30pm on Friday.
The drugs were seized in Cork last Friday.
Gardaí believe the half tonne of crystal meth seized at Ringaskiddy was due to be exported out of the country to Australia.
While a value of almost €33m has been placed on the 546kgs, sources say that relates to Ireland, but that it would be worth many multiples of that in Australia given the high price it attracts there.
