Jury retires in Naylor case

The jury in the trial of a former car sales man accused of money laundering the proceeds of crime has gone to an hotel overnight after failing to reach a verdict following three hours of deliberation.

James Naylor (aged 38) of Forest View, Pine Forest Road, Glencullen, pleaded not guilty of seven charges of laundering the proceeds of criminal activities on dates between March 2001 and June 2003 when his trial opened seven days ago at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.
