A former close associate of murdered loyalist terror chief Jim Gray is to relinquish his home and eight bank accounts, crimefighters have revealed.
The Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) said it was granted a recovery order against 48-year-old Thomas Gary Matthews and his wife Lucinda.
High Court proceedings were launched against the couple, of Dixon Park Road, Bangor, Co Down after the case was referred by police in 2007.
In an application for civil recovery SOCA claimed Matthews derived the majority of his assets through money laundering and false accounting.
It also was alleged that he had been involved in extortion and blackmail.
