Is the Director of Corporate Enforcement truly independant, did he decide on this raid himself I wonder? Can the Gardai/Fraud Division take action on their own?The raid is being conducted by the Director of Corporate Enforcement (a public official) assisted by Gardaí, and with the participation of the Bank Regulator (new model). Are you implying that these people are political puppets?

AFAIK the ODCE has a number of Gardaí on secondment to his office on a mostly permanent basis. Should the ODCE visit a company the officers from ODCE would often be accompanied by those Gardaí.
