Mechanic paid €100 a week to strip stolen cars for export
Nerigus Flederis, aged 34, who was living in “a filthy caravan with no running water” in McAuley’s Yard, Flemington, Balbriggan, Co Dublin, at the time, secured the job after meeting a man in a nightclub.
He told gardaí he was curious when he was asked to work on the vehicles but he did not ask any questions. He maintained that, had he realised the vehicles had been stolen, he would not have done the work.
