History
The Sargent Family as an organized crime gang was founded by Vincent Sargent in the late 1990s and early 2000s, better known as the "Celtic Tigers". A native of Dublin, Vincent's criminal history dates back to the late 1970s, involving offenses such as housebreaking, car theft, burglary, handling stolen goods, and forgery. Initially starting as a small street gang of inner-city drug dealers across Ireland, the group quickly expanded, evolving into the multi-million dollar criminal enterprise it is today, with operations reaching a global scale.
