The PSNI conducted 15 raids between Monday and Tuesday in five different localities across Northern Ireland. The International Criminal Police Organization and the European Police Force coordinated with the PSNI to identify more than 50 companies and 140 bank accounts associated with the scheme. The PSNI additionally coordinated efforts with local law enforcement and national law enforcement agencies including: the Garda Economic Crime Bureau, National Economic CRIME Centre, Criminal Assets Bureau, National Crime Agency, United Kingdom Financial Investigation Unit and Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs to conduct the country-wide operation.
