SNIPPET: “FORMER CAB boss Barry Galvin has told how he helped to nab an international supplier for the Iranian missile programme in his latest role in cleaning up the criminal justice system in the Seychelles.

The man responsible for waging war on drugs barons in Ireland after the murder of Veronica Guerin was hired by the government of the Indian Ocean islands to help combat corruption and money laundering.

In the RTÉ series Hostile Environment, the former chief legal officer and founder of CAB reveals how he was signed up to help clean up the paradise islands by bringing in the Al Capone-style laws that collared Ireland’s biggest crime lords.

He said: “After the shooting of Veronica Guerin there was as serious confidence crisis in the justice system and police in Ireland. The government embarked on a process of taking the money out of crime and drug trafficking and organised crime. It is nabbing the bad guy’s money.”

NOTE: It is unknown to me if the freerepublic.com link in post no. 62 is related to the same graphite-related incident that is noted in the Irish Examiner article.

However, both the Irish Examiner article and the FreeRepublic.com thread as noted in post no. 62 are interesting.
