Recording shows ‘torrid’ money row

A secret recording of a meeting in Ukraine attended by Seán Quinn Jr, his cousin Peter, and some Ukranians, showed a “torrid row” about money, the Supreme Court heard yesterday.

His lawyer argued it made clear the Quinns cannot reverse a $500,000 payment under which Seán Quinn Jr was jailed.

The $500,000 (€387,000) payment was allegedly made to Larissa Puga, general director of Quinn Properties Ukraine, and the video made clear, whatever relations previously existed between the Quinns and Ms Puga, they were “at daggers drawn” on Jan 21, 2012, when the meeting was recorded, Brian O’Moore SC said.
