Financial adviser charged with laundering 'IRA heist' cash

A financial adviser appeared in court in the Irish Republic today facing ten charges linked to an alleged IRA money laundering racket following the notorious £26.5m (€34m) Northern Bank robbery.

Timothy Cunningham was charged at Cork District Court with having more than £3.5m (€4.5m) worth of sterling and euro cash and cheques from the audacious heist in Belfast, in December 2004.
