Interdiction of MV Matthew

... was doing oil shipments for Iran and possible shipments for drugs.

So, so the, uh, the MV Matthew, another big one.

So the body of evidence, it's just too much.

Now, could you convict him for it? It would, uh, I, I don't know how much evidence that Gardy or anybody else has, but to say that he's innocent of anything, [laughs] it's laughable.

I mean-

Which for our, for our listeners, we had the MV Matthew, which was 2.2, uh, tons, but that's 30 tons effectively.

I mean, that's 15 times the MV Matthew-

Yeah

... which is the record seizure ever in Irish history.

Um, the value is given as something like 700 million, and, uh, this is linked directly to Bale Jos because one of his, you know, two companies, I think one of them was based in Turkey, and this is what they, what they believe he's been doing.

This, I think these, this seizure originally comes from Brazil, but he seems to be getting, uh, what we saw in the MV Matthew-

Yeah

... that the drugs are being brought over on, on, on, on, uh, container ships but dropped off at the Canary Islands and then collected and distributed, and that that is, that is what he is doing.
