Ex-cop urges international cooperation against Irish crime gangs

Retired Detective Inspector Noel Browne warns that only international cooperation can effectively combat Ireland's dangerous crime gangs, including the Kinahans and 'The Family.' He emphasizes the need for global efforts to tackle drug cartels linked to these groups. Browne highlights the ongoing fight against 20 criminal gangs with international connections, as Gardai increase their operations. He notes the significant impact of drug trafficking on communities in Colombia and the need for a united front against organized crime. The Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau has made substantial progress since its formation, seizing €627 million in drugs and making over 1,700 arrests. Browne believes that continued collaboration and the expansion of the Garda Liaison Network are crucial for future success.
