Accused remanded over €12k money laundering charges

 Marcel Munteanu of TJ Murphy Terrace, Old Waterpark, Carrigaline, County Cork, pleaded guilty to the money laundering charge at Cork Circuit Criminal Court

 A 34-year-old man involved in money laundering over €12,000 through his bank account in Cork was remanded in custody as the judge said the accused was not a teenager committing the crime after having his head turned by a Snapchat conversation.

Detective Garda Cormac Crotty said the fraud was carried out in November 2019 when a metal company in Indiana in the USA was duped into transferring over €12,000 to the accused man’s account.
