Cork man accused of defrauding European agency over grants worth almost €590,000

Accused tells court he is 'totally innocent' as case adjourned until April

Judge Helen Boyle adjourned the case on the opening day of the Cork Circuit Criminal Court sessions until the next sessions commencing on April 28. 

The trial of a 76-year-old man charged with defrauding the European Research Executive Agency of grants totalling over half a million euro was adjourned today for mention on April 28.

The defence indicated that a large volume of prosecution documentation had been served on them and that time would be needed to go through all of the material.
