Retired Central Bank official walks free after child porn conviction quashed
A retired Central Bank administrator who was jailed for the possession of hundreds of thousands of child porn images and videos has walked free from court after his conviction was quashed because of a misdated warrant.
The Court of Criminal Appeal today overturned the conviction of Raphael Farina (aged 67) after it found that a warrant used to search his home was dated incorrectly and consequently did not permit entry to his apartment in Dublin city centre.
