Sunday World
About this episode

A network of seemingly legitimate businessmen are under investigation by the Gardai in a massive crackdown on the laundering of dirty money.


This week a businessman, Wesley Williams, was jailed for his part in a laundering scam involving euro 1.4 million in cash.


The married father of four was also recently named in CAB proceedings against Marcus Sweeney’s Evergreen Wealth Management Property Holdings.


So who are the likes of Williams and what is their role in the wider criminal underworld.


Nicola talks to Eamon Dillon about dirty money and those who wash it clean.
