Gang boss jailed for 15 years after gardai smash €10million drugs operation he led in Dublin
A gang boss is beginning a 15-year jail term after he was caught with drugs and cash worth more than €10million. Andrew Pender, who gardai said had been under the radar before he was identified as running the massive operation, was caught with €8.968 million of drugs and €1.149 million of cash in an operation in July last year in Dublin. The operation was spearheaded by the Garda Dublin Crime Response Team set up two years ago to crack down on mid-tier gangs which are bigger than local outfits, but smaller than national and international mobs, like the Kinahan cartel.
