Irish police have smashed a multi-million euro plan to buy property in Bulgaria with forged euro notes, the Irish Independent reported on Monday.
The scheme involved the gang formerly led by murdered crimelord Martin "Marlo" Hyland and senior Provisional IRA members. It aimed to set up a massive money making racket by flooding the Bulgarian property market with forged notes with the aid of local connections.
But the plan was discovered by the detectives, who seized EUR 500,000 in fake notes to be used in the multi-million euro scam after a raid on a house on the northside of Dublin.
A suspected close associate of Hyland was arrested in the raid.
Subsequent inquiries established that the money was part of a "war chest" being built up by the gang and IRA personnel to launch their property portfolio in Bulgaria.
