Lawyers acting on behalf of a US-based Kerry developer — who is charged, inter alia, with embezzlement from employee benefit funds — have filed a pre-trial motion seeking to dismiss some of the charges against him, his sister, and a company employee.

The application for dismissal of four of 11 charges levelled against founder and president of Navillus construction company, Donal O’Sullivan, his sister Helen O’Sullivan, the company’s treasurer, and Patrick Naughton, financial controller, was made this week.
