DETECTIVES investigating money-laundering and insurance fraud have released a 28-year-old man and a 55-year-old woman.

The pair were arrested in Belfast on Wednesday as part of an ongoing probe by the PSNI’s Organised Crime Branch.

The investigation is being headed by Detective Chief Supt Roy McComb.

Ten other people have already been questioned by police. Three were arrested last week and another seven were arrested in May.

All 12 men and women have been released on police bail pending further inquiries.

Detectives from the Organised Crime Branch said the investigation was expected “to continue for some time”.
