02/18/2005: "Cork & Dublin Raids & The Northern"

Been following the news of the money laundering raids in Dublin & Cork? I decided to let the dust settle before posting on it and have been spending most of my time over on Slugger who have been posting updates on the subject as the story develops. Anyway, with seven arrested, two 'with republican connections' released without charge, one charged with Real IRA membership, a Sinn Féin member, a businessman who had €3.3m in his back garden, as one does, a trusted associate of Bertie under investigation, €253,000 handed in to a Garda station in Cork, a man with money to burn and a Gerry Adams in denial, it should make a feckin great movie ... Oceans 13 maybe?

Update: Eight person arrested [registration cheat].
