On 11 July 2022, approximately 16kg of cocaine was seized at Dublin Airport in a joint operation by the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau and Revenue's Customs Service, with assistance from German and South American law enforcement. Lucas Farias, 27, carried just under 15kg of cocaine from Brazil in his suitcase, while Jocelino De Silva, 44, a corporate lounge manager, and Bruno Farias, 31, a catering assistant, both men employed by contractors at the airport, picked up portions of the drugs in a toilet cubicle and used employee swipe cards to move them through staff entrances.
