FOUR GARDAÍ ARE to be charged with perverting the course of justice as part of an investigation into Garda corruption in the south of the country.
A private citizen is also facing the same charge as part of a probe by the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation (NBCI).
It is understood that a number of arrests have also been made. The NBCI have questioned more than 100 gardaí, and seized phones as part of its investigation.
