Gilligan fails to halt CAB application

The High Court has cleared the way for the Criminal Assets Bureau to proceed with an application to have an equestrian centre and other property belonging to convicted drugs dealer John Gilligan and other members of his family handed over to the State.

Gilligan, who recently lost his final appeal against his conviction on drug charges, his wife Geraldine and their children Darren and Tracey opposed the proceedings by the CAB.
