RTE fined for potential prejudice of tiger kidnapping trial

RTE will have to pay a total of €40,000 to four charities in lieu of a fine for potentially prejudicing the longest running trial in the State’s history.

A retired senior member of the gardai discussed the facts of a €2.28 million “tiger kidnapping” robbery with presenter Ms Rachel English on the 'Marian Finucane Show' last July, while the 66-day trial of five accused men was ongoing.
