Guerin’s killer seeks frozen funds

CONVICTED killer Brian Meehan yesterday brought proceedings in the High Court aimed at lifting a freezing order on his bank accounts in Austria.

Meehan’s application comes as the Criminal Assets Bureau is set to apply for a final disposal order in relation to the IR£640,000 in a number of bank accounts in Vienna which have been frozen since 1997.

In May 1997, Brian Meehan and his father Kevin were prevented by a High Court order from removing or disposing of £640,000 in bank accounts in Austria and one account in the Isle of Man which the Criminal Assets Bureau believed to be proceeds of crime, particularly drug trafficking.
