"IRA" assets seized
BBC
Quote:
Properties worth £30m and believed to be owned by the IRA have been seized in a number of searches in Manchester.
About 250 properties, with equity of £9m and linked to two businessmen, were seized by the Assets Recovery Agency (ARA), said a statement on Wednesday.
The seizures are believed to follow investigations into the business and financial affairs of Thomas "Slab" Murphy, an IRA man from South Armagh.
Murphy is widely considered to be the head of the IRA.
