Ireland Man charged with handling laundered funds to reappear in Longford court in May
On 24 January 2020, €2,100 was withdrawn in two instalments, of €1,500 and €600, from an ATM in Longford town using the account and bank card of a co-accused. Lucky Igbinogun (22), a man, is charged with handling property that was the proceeds of criminal conduct, and the co-accused, who is not named in the sources, is also charged, in connection with transferring or handling €16,500.34 in an invoice redirection fraud.
