Convicted Killer Pleads Guilty to Money Laundering
LIMERICK, IRELAND, JUL 21 – Richard Treacy, with no legitimate income, admitted spending €100,000 of criminal proceeds on home renovations in Limerick, according to prosecution and court records.
- On Monday, Richard Treacy used €100,000 for home renovations in Garryowen, Limerick, despite having no legitimate income.
- Court records show Richard Treacy previously pleaded guilty to money laundering, relating to renovations between January 1st, 2014 and January 12th, 2021, at a house registered in his mother's name.
- During the June 17th, 2020 search, Gardaí found €4,000 in a sock drawer, €500 and €600 in a kitchen cupboard, and €3,900 in sterling, and Detective Garda Ronan O'Reilly said Treacy claimed only the €4,000 came from a family member.
- Ms Justice Karen O'Connor adjourned the matter to October 20th, Fiona Murphy said, citing the court's need for finalisation and noting it was `well able to draw a clear blue line`.
- Highlighting the defence's comparison, Lorcan Connolly SC argued that this isn’t a `standard case` where gardaí found €100,000 in cash, considering the seven-year span.
