Man seeks return of €86k seized by gardaí

A man applied yesterday for the return of over €86,000 which was seized by gardaí searching his home for drugs.

Slaven Miskovic, who has not been charged with any crime, said through his solicitor, Diarmuid Kelleher, that the cash was from the sale of a property in the Czech Republic, the sale of company shares, and compensation for an industrial accident.

Detective Garda John Sheedy objected to the application brought before Cork District Court by Mr Miskovic to return the cash seized at his home at Tuckey St, Cork, during a search last January.
