The four men were arrested under organised crime legislation and are currently detained in Garda stations in Dublin under Section 50 of the Criminal Justice Act.

Operation Fógra aims to combat drug-related intimidation, which has been identified as a “major source of community harm and fear” in the Dublin metropolitan region and a “sinister motive for various forms of criminality”, the Garda said in a statement.
