Issue Date: 29/05/2025

Following an extradition from the United Arab Emirates at the request of the Irish authorities, a male was arrested today, Thursday 29th May 2025, by Gardaí and is being brought before a sitting of the Special Criminal Court.

The male had been the subject of an Interpol Red Notice.

An Garda Síochána has developed major international partnerships in our efforts to target transnational organised crime groups.

Our relationship with authorities across the world including with the Ministry of Justice at judicial level in the United Arab Emirates, and on a police-to-police basis, is valued and one which we will continue to develop.

This relationship has been supported by Irish governmental and diplomatic efforts.
