Man faces jail for not giving car cash to CAB

The owner of a helicopter and a number of cars including a red Ferrari F355, which the Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) claims are the proceeds of crime, faces being jailed for contempt of court.

In the High Court yesterday CAB was granted orders for the attachment and committal to prison of Roger O’Grady for failure to comply with undertakings to lodge the €30,000 proceeds from the sale of a BMW car to a CAB account.

Mr Justice Kevin Feeney said Mr O’Grady had “clearly failed” to comply with the undertakings he had made and no explanation for this failure had been given. Mr O’Grady, 29, with addresses at Ballinphuill, Tibuhine, Castlerea, Co Roscommon and Frenchpark, Co Roscommon, was not in court yesterday and is believed to be outside of the jurisdiction.
