Taxi driver forfeits €100k to State

A Dublin Circuit Court judge has ordered that over €100,000 seized from a Tallaght taxi driver as part of a garda investigation into drug dealing be handed over to the State.

Judge Desmond Hogan approved an application by Mr Dominic McGinn BL, counsel for the State, requesting that €114, 971 found in the possession of Mr Bernard Fitzsimons (aged 28), of Glenshave Grove, Tallaght be deemed the proceeds of criminal activity and be forfeit to the Exchequer.
