A businessman (44) who was jailed for 12 years for importation of the State’s largest ever crystal meth seizure now faces having part of the proceeds from the impending sale of his €795,000 family home forfeit to the taxman, the High Court heard.
Nathan McDonnell, who ran the long-established Ballyseedy Garden Centre in Tralee in Co Kerry, allowed his business to be used to store a machine containing more than €32 million of the drug which came from an organised crime group with links to the Sinaloa Cartel in Mexico.
