Father of 11 jailed for role in Cork money-laundering operation

The sum of money in the bank account was €228,274.

 A father-of-eleven who controlled a bank account in another man’s name — when €228,000 passed through it over four years — had no explanation for this money except that he sold The Big Issue.

Judge Colin Daly said Chilimbar Vasile, 57, played a significant role in money-laundering where he also appeared to be assisting a criminal organisation and he jailed the accused for three years.
