Man charged with money laundering will get bail if 'legitimate person' can provide €10k surety

Alleged offences are linked to a Limerick crime gang, Special Criminal Court has heard

The man charged with money laundering and possessing a stolen vehicle was remanded in custody with consent to bail. 

A man accused of money laundering for a Limerick crime gang will be granted bail by the Special Criminal Court, despite the objections of gardaí, if a "legitimate" person can come up with a €10k surety for him.

Earlier today, at the three-judge court, gardaí had objected to the bail of Limerick man Dermot McManus, who is charged with handling almost €50k in crime cash, possessing a stolen vehicle, and the handling of another vehicle.
