The arrests were made in Dublin today.
GARDAÍ HAVE ARRESTED two men as part of an investigation into a €3 million money laundering operation.
The arrests were made following searches of properties in Dublin 8 and in Drumcondra by the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau.
A Gardaí investigation is ongoing into a €3 million money laundering scheme operating between Ireland and Finland using fake bank accounts and organised by a crime gang.
