Mayo: Suspect arrested after €175,000 seized in jihadi funding Almost in cash when a Garda counter-terrorism unit investigating Islamic extremism raided a premises in Mayo this week and a suspect was arrested as part of a terror finance investigation.
Apart from four people arrested last year, people have rarely been arrested for terrorism in Ireland. It was also reported that he has connections with Syria and other Middle Eastern countries and was sending money to the Middle East. This suspicion was strengthened when such a large amount of money was found in the raid.
The government has hinted that terrorist centers are taking root in Dublin, Limerick, Waterford, etc. These people provide asylum to those who enter illegally from Britain.
Armed members of the Special Detective Unit were involved in a planned operation which brought the suspect - a man in his early 40s - to Castlebar Garda Station for questioning on Monday. He was later released without charge.
But detailed investigations into his alleged activities are ongoing and a file is being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). The accused is a Middle Eastern national but has been living in Ireland for many years. He is engaged in conducting a prominent business in a Mayo town.
According to official sources, he was previously wanted by the authorities here in connection with the smuggling and sale of cigarettes, but he has no criminal convictions yet.
