Cork man pleads guilty to money-laundering after Northern Bank robbery

A 63-year-old Cork man has been brought before the Special Criminal Court charged with money-laundering offences in connection with the 2004 Northern Bank robbery.

George Hegarty, of Donnybrook Cottages, Douglas, Cork pleaded guilty to money laundering at his address in February 2005, knowing or believing that the £66,000 Sterling represented the proceeds of a robbery at the Northern Bank, Belfast in December 2004, or being reckless as to whether that money was or represented such proceeds.
