Ireland Man faces trial on money laundering and drug charges in Letterkenny
A 22-year-old man, Yann Tumama, is charged with money laundering and with possessing cocaine for sale or supply in Letterkenny, Co Donegal. The money laundering charge concerns 7,000 sterling credited to a Revolut account in his name, an offence alleged to have happened in May 2021. The drug charge relates to Riverside Apartments, Pearse Road, Letterkenny, on 26 May 2022. A book of evidence was served on him at Letterkenny District Court in late July 2023, when the DPP consented to his return for trial to the Letterkenny Circuit Court and the judge made a return for trial order with an alibi warning. His bail was changed so he must sign on at Blanchardstown Garda Station on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and the latest development is an adjournment to 23 October because the DPP's directions are to be clarified.
