Car dealer risks losing helicopter and Ferrari

The Criminal Assets Bureau will take ownership of a helicopter, a Ferrari, a Range Rover, and a bank account containing over €26,000 from a Roscommon car dealer who faced contempt of court proceedings yesterday.

Roger O’Grady, aged 29, of Ballinphuill, Tibuhine, Castlerea, Co Roscommon, and also Frenchpark, Co Roscommon, was arrested at the weekend and brought before Mr Justice Kevin Feeney at the High Court sitting in Cork yesterday.

Benedict Ó Floinn,barrister for CAB, said Mr O’Grady was before the court on an application by the bureau to have him committed to prison for contempt of a previous order for Mr O’Grady to pay €60,000 to CAB.
