A man seen by gangs as a “trusted” money launderer who used a taxi to disguise his involvement in criminality has been jailed over a €1.6m cash haul.

Karl Duggan (38) was a target for gardaí investigating organised crime when he was arrested in January 2021 and the money was found hidden in two secret vehicle compartments.
