Case No. 7527Money laundering and terrorism financing · Co. Dublin

Six charged with money laundering and terrorism financing offences in Dublin

Four men and two women were charged on Tuesday 12 September 2023 with money laundering and international terrorism financing, following a Garda Special Detective Unit investigation into alleged offences in the 2010s in Dublin. The six are Oybek Jabbarov, Atica Umat (68), Fatime Jabbarov (43), Muhammad Amin (37), Abdurahim Mhadhbi (25) and Dawood Mhadhbi (22), and the reports describe the six collectively as Uzbek and nationals. The charges, which follow Director of Public Prosecutions directions for about 200 charges, were brought at Garda stations around the city, and Oybek Jabbarov is accused of 101 offences. The six appeared before Judge Bryan Smyth at Dublin District Court, where the DPP directed a trial on indictment, no objection was made to bail with conditions, and five cases were adjourned to 23 October. The latest development is that Oybek Jabbarov was remanded in custody over a jurisdictional issue on bail for an additional charge, with his next hearing set for 19 September at Cloverhill District Court.
