A MAN WHO was arrested yesterday in relation to fake documents seized during garda searches has been released without charge.

The man in his 40s, who is believed to be from north Africa, was arrested yesterday and detained in a north city garda station under legislation which covers terrorism offences.

Gardaí from the Special Detective Unit working with London’s Met Police had searched a number of properties in Dublin as part of an ongoing operation targeting possession of fraudulent documents.

Today they said the man in his 40s was released from garda custody last night. A file will now be prepared for the information of the Director of Public Prosecutions.
