Used car dealers and the criminal underworld

goochy

It's long been known that gangsters have involvement in the used car trade . But surely CAB can access the accounts of these ' businesses" ? I am sure we all visited used car places with some flashy motors lying around and thought 'this place seems a bit dodgey' .

Following the incident at Recency hotel on Friday , I did a bit of googling about the person murdered. Turns out his brother runs a small used car place with some flashy motors near Homebase on the Naas road and his sister and her gangster partner runs a car business in the uk ( they don't actually have a garage) .- makes you wonder who is actually bringing in the many cars coming in from the UK.

A clondalkin car dealer who went belly up during the recession couldn't explain where he got the money to buy in high end stock and some stock disappeared when he went belly up. He was disqualified from running a business but is now selling new jags and land rovers in Canada !

Plenty of existing legislation to investigate them. Also just because someones brother is a gangster it doesn't automatically make them one.

Well they happen to be also. The whole family are involved in crime from father to his children .

Is that from actual evidence you know or a story you read in a comic like the Sunday World?

Each business has to make a tax return each year and if they have any suspicious activity they end up being audited for irregularities.

All the laws in the world and that's where the story ends.

Another crowd of gangsters (buddies with a "well-known businessman" from west Dublin) were involved in a VRT fiddle bringing in passenger SUVs and only declaring them as commercial.

Any cash industry is good for a bit of money laundering so it attracts a certain element.

west Dublin car dealers being raided by CAB today , anyone spot them around Naas Road area ? a certain ' garage ' in Bluebell run by brother on one of recent gun victims will definitely be raided.

theres a lot of dodgy looking places around selling high end uk imports and these cars are likely to have been imported by criminals. As said before a uk based gangster from Dublin is buying cars in uk auctions and obviously exporting them.

Unless you decide to threaten the auditior and make him go back and say everything is fine. These lads have people everywhere on payroll, I am sure they knew this was coming. Shouldnt need to be a few shootings to cause them this stress. It should be the norm.

What garage got raided ?

goochy

Cant say for certain but it must be the one near homebase naas road - its starts with A and it puts its address as being Bluebell ind. est - though that's not correct. looking at Dublin dealer listings on carzone - its about 5th down - some tasty motors - the g wagon that belonged to guy who was killed at Regency was advertised on it a while ago - thought it at time it was a bit strange such an expensive vehicle for sale at garage I never heard of and without proper premises.

It's good so see the authorities taking an active role.

goochy

yes an ACTIVE role alright ! lol
pity it took these killings for it to happen, heard these guys were swanning around for a long time in fancy cars . Thought CAB had put an end to these guys enjoying the trappings of wealth in this country.

it seems the guy who was killed last week had bought ( ??) a golf gti from some well known dealer in Finglas ( other than main dealers don't know of any reputable dealers out that way ??) who had bought the car from the garage in Bluebell and it was still in the gangsters name so the cops assumed he was part of kinahan gang.
