Man convicted of assault was living under a stolen identity

A man who pushed his pregnant partner in the stomach later turned out to be living under a stolen identity and is wanted by French authorities so he can serve a five-year jail term for people-trafficking. Kristian Krasznai appeared before Bandon District Court on a guilty plea to both the altercation near a supermarket with his ex-partner, and the theft of a mobile phone from Aldi.

However, Sgt Brian Harte said that since those incidents in 2017, gardaí had learned that Mr Krasznai had been living in Ireland using the stolen identity and documents of another Hungarian national, Sandor Jonas. Mr Krasznai, aged 38, had been living at Apartment 2, Meadowlands, Bandon, Co Cork. He also had an address at 4R Parnell St, Bandon.
