Dirty Money: The Story of the Criminal Assets Bureau: Public Enemy # 1

Since 1996, the Criminal Assets Bureau (cab) has been on the front line in the war against organised crime, hitting the godfathers where it really hurts - in their pockets. In this new Tv3 documentary series, investigative crime journalist and author Paul Williams will exclusively reveal the workings and history of the Cab, the most effective and arguably the most feared arm of the state. He will retrace the frightening events that led to its founding and will reveal in interviews, recreations and news footage the dramatic battle of wits the Bureau fought in courtrooms, in the offices of lawyers, accountants, banks and on the streets with the crime bosses who plagued Ireland in the 90s. Williams recreates the atmosphere of menace and fear which led to the establishment of the multi-agency Bureau and interviews the key people who finally showed the gangsters that they were no longer untouchable.
