The Serious Organised Crime Agency has frozen the assets of a leading republican in South Armagh, reports the BBC.
It has been granted a court order to take control of properties and bank accounts belonging to Sean Gerard Hughes of Aghadavoyle Road, Drumintee.
The agency claimed the assets came from laundering the proceeds of mortgage fraud, tax evasion and benefit fraud.
In 2002, Mr Hughes was named in parliament as a member of the IRA's Army Council, an allegation he denied. More about him
