Gardaí are carrying out a major search operation across Dublin and four other counties in relation to money laundering.
The operation got underway this morning at 15 premises.
It's being led by the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau, who are investigating the activities of a West-African criminal network.
Officers from the Dublin Metropolitan Region and Armed Support Units are also involved.
They're suspected to be involved in the laundering of €14.6m in criminal proceeds through Irish bank accounts.
Gardaí say it's thought the laundered money may have been used to fund the purchase of property and other high value items across the country.
