GARDAÍ ARE WORKING with the UK’s National Crime Agency to identify the body of a man found off the coast of Sliabh Liag in Co Donegal.
Wilkin, who is from Northern Ireland, was arrested by the NCA in August 2021 after his lorry was stopped in France with €6.7m cocaine and heroin on board. Yesterday Gardaí said the results of the post-mortem are not being released for “operational purposes”. The arrests followed a tip-off to Gardaí by a third party who claims she had been told of an incident, which led Gardaí to believe that a man had been seriously injured.
