32CSM nega collegamento con la droga
32CSM dismiss Republican drug seizure link
The 32 County Sovereignty Movement has moved to refute claims dissident republicans are connected to a massive drug seizure in Co Donegal.
Gardai continue to question three men in connection to the seizure of 12,000 cannabis plants at a house in Carrigans on Wednesday evening.
Now the 32CSM have dismissed reports linking dissident republicans to the seizure.
A 32CSM spokesman said: ” This is a very clear case of black propaganda and political opportunism by the enemies of republicanism. The house is owned by a Republican ex-POW from Meath and was being looked after by an ex-POW from Derry.
” It was rented to tenants in good faith. This was done publicly through an ad in a local paper.”
The spokesman added: ” If people choose to use their tenancy in this property for nefarious ends, it is done without the knowledge of the ex prisoners.
“Republicans have a strong position on drugs and people will not be fooled by this.”
Meanwhile the PSNI have confirmed they today (Friday) carried out a follow up search in connection with the drugs seizure in Derry.
A PSNI spokeswoman said police in the North are working closely with the Gardai.
