Bookmakers launch court action over missing €562k

Bookmakers Boylesports have launched High Court action against one of their branch managers over claims of missing monies worth €562,200.

Last night Boylesports obtained orders preventing Ronan Crowley, who is the manager of the Castle St Shop in Cork City, from reducing or dissipating his assets below €650,000. It claims Mr Crowley deliberately failed to lodge monies taken in at the branch with its bank and misappropriated monies for his own use.

Mr Justice Michael White also granted Boylesports orders restraining Mr Crowley, with an address at Carrig Downs, Carrigtwohill, Co Cork, from dealing with or dissipating any monies allegedly misappropriated by of him from his employers.
