Case No. 5822Burglary · Co. Cork · 25 Jan 2024

Judge reserves decision on jurisdiction in Cork burglary case over accused's unknown identity

Yousoof Angelina, a 29-year-old man who gave that name to his solicitor, is accused of two counts of burglary at Marine Villas, Monkstown, Co Cork, on January 25, 2024, and of a burglary at Shamrock Place, Ringaskiddy, Co Cork, on January 26, 2024. He is also charged with possession of cannabis for his own personal use, stealing bicycles at the Ensign Bar, Monkstown, and failing to produce a valid passport or equivalent document at Togher Garda station. The DPP decided the case was suitable for the district court, but fingerprints matched 27 different named persons across the UK and Europe, so on May 22, 2024, Judge Mary Dorgan reserved her decision on jurisdiction until he reveals his identity. He was remanded in custody to appear again on June 4.
