Young people engaged in money laundering will be jailed, judge warns

Reece Radford, 20, of Dromcarra Grove, Jobstown, Dublin pleaded guilty to one count of possessing the proceeds of crime within the state on October 26, 2018.

A judge has warned he is going to start jailing young people who engage in money laundering for criminal gangs, as cases continue to come before the courts.

Judge Martin Nolan made the comments in Dublin Circuit Criminal Court this week as he handed down a suspended two-year sentence for a young man who laundered over €58,000 in cash stolen from a car parts company.
