Suspected Laundered fuel was detected at two filling stations in Co. Meath and Co. Roscommon last Saturday October 19, 2024.
The discovery was part of an intelligence-led operation, Revenue’s Customs Service, supported by the State Laboratory and both premises were searched under warrant leading to 38,000 litres of fuel being removed for further examination. Investigations are ongoing.

In a statement regarding the investigation into the suspected laundered fuels, An Garda Síochána said: "The illicit trade in fuels is a serious threat to the Exchequer. In addition to the monetary loss, both fuel smuggling and fuel laundering undermine the competitiveness of legitimate businesses, damage the environment, damage consumers' vehicles and help to sustain organised criminal networks.
"These seizures are part of Revenue's ongoing operations targeting fuel laundering and shadow economy activity."
Gardaí are appealing to businesses and members of the public who have any information regarding illegal activity such as fuel laundering to report it by contacting Revenue in confidence on 1800 295 295.
