We started seeing shipments coming in along the coastline. There was always calls in the DĂĄil for people to keep an eye out on the coastline. It always seemed a little bit ludicrous, but there's a reason for it. So the 40th birthday party was not the reason they were here. At the same time that they arrived and settled into their Airbnbs in that part of the world, there was a boat, the MV Royal, which had been loaded up in the Amazon in Brazil, was it? Yeah, it was a...
So now, and they're all warned repeatedly to not get caught with their phones, aren't they? Phones are described in court as EncroChat, which I think maybe has just become a term that is used. EncroChat was the network which was infiltrated in 2020 and shut down. So it's an EncroChat, we're going to say, style phone, an encrypted phone. It was encrypted phones, yeah. And there was quite a few phones seized
Joten hÀnellÀ tuntui, ettÀ hÀn saattaa saada 30k per kuukauden, kun tehdÀÀn nÀitÀ rajoituksia, jotta hÀn saattaa saada rajoitukset ja saada ne takaisin. Ja ettÀ tÀmÀ olisi uusi urna tai forum. Ihmisen muuttaminen taas. Tietysti. Joku, joka olisi tullut takaisin Irakasta ja Afganistanista. Ja myöhemmin olisimme kuulleet, ettÀ hÀnellÀ oli psykiatriset raportit, jotka hÀneltÀ tuli kautta. Ja miten hÀn kÀrsii. HÀn nÀki asioita.
SiellÀ on toivottavasti yllÀtys muuttaa elÀmÀÀsi. Luulen, ettÀ nÀihin asioihin mennÀÀn. EhkÀ Gary Monks puhuikin siitÀ, ettÀ saa viikonloppua siitÀ, mutta on aina ollut yllÀtys ihmisten kanssa, jotka tekevÀt tÀllaista kriminaalia, ettÀ ajattelee, ettÀ aion vain tehdÀ tarpeeksi rahaa, jotta voin asettua itseÀni.
and then I'll pull out of it. They're not really actually engaged in the supply of drugs. They're just middlemen that are hired. You have these criminal overlords who arrange for those drugs to meet the ship, the MV Royal.
in the Amazon basin and who work out the logistics of all this. They need people there. Where do they find the likes of Gary Monks? Okay, he's in some sort of a difficult situation, addiction. Is he mixing in the wrong circles or the right circles for the drug cartels? How do they approach the Filipinos, you'd wonder, that are on the ships? Do they profile them? Do they know about their
heidÀn perheensÀ ja taloudellisensa. Oikeastaan Sky ECC-hackin aikana, joka tuli jÀlkeen AnchorChat-hackin jÀlkeen, ja laajasti se, mikÀ liittyy huoneista, jotka olivat kÀytettÀvissÀ Belgiassa ja Ruotsissa, oli ymmÀrrys siitÀ, ettÀ oikeastaan oli kriminaalisia ryhmÀkysymyksiÀ yksityiskohtaisesti profiilille.
people that would be of use to drug cartels. So they're essentially this research facility that do all this and they then sell on that information to the drug cartels. Now always
There's sort of an element that people believe that there's a lot of people strong armed into it. There certainly is some grooming that goes on at the lower levels of the drug chain. And that's when there's young kids who are seen, usually again, who are almost profiled as being vulnerable.
and who are brought in to what they see as a sort of an almost family unit, a gang, and they start into their criminal lives that way. But it's easier for the cartels to recruit people who want to be recruited, who have a reason to be there. You don't want to be strong-arming and forcing people into this position, because it's dangerous if you do. They need to be motivated, and the money in this case is clearly the motivation. When they get caught, they zip it, because they have the sense to know
that that is the risk they were taking. You know, perhaps Gary Monks could have got 10 months of that and earned a hell of a lot of money and never been caught and walked away and set himself up. But each time you do that job, you know, there is a risk you're going to be arrested. And you know damn well not to be pointing the finger as to who your employer is. And maybe you don't know. No, I mean, there's a skill in recruiting people for this. I mean...
MennÀÀn takaisin Garyn Munkseen ja Ryan Watsoniin. Jotkut nÀkemykset eivÀt ole kuuluneet, mutta meillÀ on tietoa, mitÀ tapahtui. Aloitetaan 6. januutisesta vuodesta. Munksen ja Watson tulevat Larnin FerryistÀ. HeillÀ on maruuninen Land Rover, jonka pöytÀ on vihreÀ ja vihreÀ ospreyri.
The Serbian Milan Kaprovica arrives in Dublin airport on the same day. He doesn't travel with them. The next day they're booked into an Airbnb for one night in Kaharsivin. And the Land Rover and the Rib travel down across the M1. They're captured on CCTV in a number of different locations. And Milan Kaprovica checks into a hotel in Dublin and stays there until the 9th of January.
Okay, so bringing us down to Cahir Sivin, Monks extends his stay in the Airbnb he's in for a further night, two nights, the 9th to the 10th of January. They're kind of in and out, they're going to the shops, they're buying things in the area. They also book another
local rental cottage for the nights of the 11th and 12th of January and it's Gary Monks who describes to locals himself that it's his 40th birthday and he puts out that story that they're there to kind of celebrate, they're going fishing and they need help I think to get the rib repaired, they've realized the rib isn't going to
be seaworthy. So they're kind of asking locally for help on that. And ultimately they realize it's going to be too big a job. They offer the rib for sale locally at a cost of 26,000. The offer is declined and they then go ahead and purchase this
Ja se on alkuperÀisen ajan pÀivÀnÀ, 13. januutista, kun kaikki ei ole tehty, heidÀn mielestÀÀn. HeidÀt arvostavat, mobiilipuolet pysyvÀt kiinni ja pysyvyys löytyy Mino Gahanin kanssa.
What happens next is they're taken into custody and they don't necessarily deny or admit anything. The guardi, the naval service, et cetera, work on undoing those phones. They identified the MV Royal, they board it and they arrest the three. But what we do know is the cocaine is gone. Yeah. And they knew it was there because they found photographs of the cocaine. And, you know, even the way
Ja toivottavasti heidÀn kanssaan he menivÀt takaisin, jolloin valmistajat olivat edelleen odottamassa heitÀ. Joten nÀmÀ maanomaiset, jotka ottaa ne ulos ja pysyvÀt eteenpÀin,
Is this the case where there was an undisclosed or an unidentified individual in the Newry area? Or was that a separate case? Was there any indication who these were? Were they local? Were the guards ever on their trail? There's been no indication, like anything that's kind of come up in court that we know of about who was the, like, you know, who were in the landing crew, whether they were Irish or whether they were other
