A man has been arrested over money laundering offences.

The 24-year-old was arrested on Tuesday by officers from the Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB).

He is being held at Clondalkin Garda station under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act.

The arrest follows an operation in September last year, when the CAB carried out a search operation in Dublin and Wicklow.
