- Q17101341 abstract "The Rathkeale Rovers is a name given to a group of criminals based in Ireland but operating internationally. They are all members of Ireland's Travelling Community, and use traditional Traveller work such as laying tarmac or home renovation as cover for illegal activities. They are reputed to be one of the world’s wealthiest organised crime groups. Their name comes from their links with the town of Rathkeale in Ireland, which has been described as their "base".The gang's crimes include fraud, money laundering, drug smuggling, and art theft.The European Union's law enforcement agency, Europol, set up Operation Oakleaf in 2011 at the request of the Irish Police, in order to gather intelligence on the group. This led to 30 arrests in eight countries for money laundering, drug trafficking and organised robbery worldwide.The US Fish And Wildlife Service has also investigated the group with regard to the smuggling of rhino horn. Investigators worked with South African police and Europol.In October 2013, the New South Wales Fair Trading department issued a warning that the gang was operating on the Australian eastern seaboard.In November 2013, UK police from 26 forces and the Serious Organised Crime Agency arrested 19 people, believed to be members of the Rathkeale Rovers, as part of Operation Elven into a series of museum and auction house break-ins in 2012. 14 men were later convicted for their roles in the thefts. Four of them, all from the same family, were described by the prosecution as "generals" within the Rathkeale Rovers. The gang targeted Chinese antiquities and rhinoceros horns, intending to sell them to the Chinese black market. On 13 April 2012 the gang broke into the Fitzwilliam Museum while it was closed, stealing 18 jade objects valued at between £15m and £40m, none of which have been recovered. They targeted Durham University Oriental Museum three times, on one occasion smashing a large hole through an external wall to gain access. Attempted thefts at Norwich Castle Museum and Gorringes auction house in Lewes were thwarted by visitors. The total value of the items taken was between £18m and £57m, according to the police.".
