Yeah, because of course prisons or guns have been smuggled in during the Troubles.

It did happen and obviously it allowed people to escape and cause total chaos.

So the guards are involved...

And if these seizures are made, are they leading to arrests and possible prosecutions?

Yes, people that are significant players.

So they feel that this is something that they can...

Okay, well, we'll come back to that then when you're in either case in a couple of years.

Brilliant.

Thanks, Ken.

Two sisters in relationships with key members of the family drugs gang have been targeted by CAB.

Charmaine and her sister Charlene were both named in cases brought against gangland criminals Brad White and Jamie Gagan.

Today I'm talking to Eamon Dillon about the array of designer clothes seized by the Crime Fighting Bureau.

I'm Niall Donald and this is Crime World, a podcast from crimeworld.com.

So you've covered lots of cases involving the Criminal Assets Bureau, obviously in this year and last year.

But what we see is a trend where, as well as targeting the people that are suspected of involvement in organised crime, increasingly the girlfriends or the partners or the wives

of these criminals are also being targeted and that's something that maybe didn't happen as much in the past.

But a good example of that is the partners of two guys who have been linked to the family gang and probably now the biggest single supplier of cocaine in Ireland.

Tell us about this case and who it's targeting.

And I mean, again, like, another sort of recent feature of the Cab case is where they're targeting these guys, sort of mid-level, I suppose, like they're hired members of the family gang, but they're not

You know, importing drugs or anything.
