GARDAÍ HAVE UNCOVERED no new information during their latest search operation for an Icelandic man who went missing in north Dublin five years ago.

Jonsson was last seen leaving his hotel room in Santry on 9 February 2019, while he was visiting Ireland for a poker tournament that was taking place in Dublin.

Gardaí connected to Ballymun Garda Station carried multiple searches at the park in Dublin.

Over 270 lines of enquiries have been established by investigators so far and a garda spokesperson said numerous statements have been taken and hours of CCTV has been reviewed. 

Today, gardaí said in a statement: “Despite ongoing investigations and enquiries, Jon has yet to be located.”

Jon was 41-years-old when he went missing.
