Convicted bank robber has €95k seized by State
The State has seized €95,000 from a convicted bank robber who claimed the money originated in a lottery win.
Mark Fitzgerald (aged 43) was found with the cash wrapped in clingfilm in his luggage as he was getting a flight to Malaga. Judge Martin Nolan at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court said he was satisfied the cash was either the proceeds of crime or was going to be used in crime.
