Decisions on who lives and dies in the Irish
criminal underworld are being taken in places like the Costa del Sol. That’s
according to the Fine Gael MEP Brian Hayes. He’s claiming that Irish gangs are
exploiting the EU’s freedom of movement to direct their criminal activities in
Ireland from oversees. The Dublin MEP says the EU is not doing enough to tackle
international criminal syndicates. And Mr Hayes is calling for stronger EU-wide
cooperation to bring down crime bosses. This week the European Parliament will
debate the need to improve information exchange between national law
enforcement authorities in EU member states.
