Three men sentenced over illegal eviction

Three men have been sentenced for carrying out a forced eviction for a landlord who was having trouble with squatting tenants.

Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard that the three Lithuanian nationals seemed to be unaware that they were breaking the law when they forced an innocent tenant to pack his bags and leave.

Darius Adamonis, aged 46, of Linnetsfield Square, Ongar, Clonee, Dublin, his son Darvydas Adamonis, aged 27, of Latchfield Square, Castaheany, Blanchardstown, Dublin, and Linas Butrinovicius, aged 29, of Kennedy Crescent, Navan, Co Meath, all pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to the false imprisonment of Richard Nagle at Cabra Park, Dublin City, on October 16, 2013.
