The Criminal Assets Bureau have been granted an order to sell off two properties owned by the world’s biggest cocaine trafficker.
The Bureau are to auction off a penthouse and country estate owned by millionaire drug baron Mickey Greene.
The penthouse in Dublin’s docklands and mansion in Kilcock in County Meath are expected to fetch millions when they are put up for auction over the next few months.
Greene, 60, is currently living in Malaga in Spain where last year he escaped extradition to the UK where police believe he is the world’s biggest cocaine trafficker.
He bought the two properties in Ireland after he fled here in 1993.
Maple Falls at Pitchfortstown in County Meath which is now set to be auctioned off was his country manor.
Greene had his own paddock and stables along with a tennis court at the house.
Garda sources believe that Greene continued to run his drugs cartel from there and may have been responsible for organising a multi-million shipment of drugs found at Money Point coast in the mid 1990s.
