Criminal Assets Bureau claims woman's family home was bought with crime proceeds

In a sworn statement, Ms Cash said the €125,000 cash she deposited into her account in 2015 arose from her work as a cleaner, childminder and escort in Australia

The bureau’s case, said its barrister Shelley Horan, is that the items were purchased with crime proceeds — namely burglaries allegedly carried out around the country by Ms Cash’s husband, Andrew Cash, and her brother, Henry Kiely. File picture

The Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) has alleged in the High Court that a woman’s Co. Laois home was purchased and renovated with proceeds derived from burglaries.

The court was told Mary Cash (née Kiely) pleaded guilty at Waterford Circuit Court on Tuesday to three money-laundering charges relating to three cash seizures totalling about €27,000.
