A South American crime gang is believed to be behind a “significant” number of illegal immigrants found working at a premises in Meath.
GNIB officers investigating a suspected trafficking ring were joined by officials from the Department of Social Protection and the Work Relations Commission. Gardai from several national bureaus including organised crime, protective services, economic crime, cyber crime and roads policing unit were also involved.
A garda spokesperson said it aimed to crack down on those facilitating illegal immigration into Ireland, rather than targeting those who are trafficked.
