Man: Gun held to my head over €70 debt

A moneylender held a gun to the head of another man and told him he would kill him because he owed him just €70, a court has been told.

Miroslaw Klucsak appeared at Letterkenny Circuit Court in Donegal yesterday charged with making threats to kill and also demanding money with menace.

The Polish man, who denied the charges, told the court that he runs a legitimate business paying for people’s grocery shopping and then charging them for the transport.
