• Man remanded on bail over money laundering charge in Longford Handling proceeds of criminal conduct (money mule) · Co. Longford

  Between May 24 and May 25, 2022, Terrance O'Dowd, a retired firefighter, was the victim of a smishing scam in which three transactions removed €19,180 from his account after he received a text purporting to be from his bank. The money was transferred to the bank account of Anis Lawal, a 20-year-old man from Longford. Lawal was charged with handling property that was the proceeds of criminal conduct. In March 2024, Judge Owens sent him forward for trial at Longford Circuit Court. In November 2024, Judge Connolly remanded him on bail to January 2025 to assess his suitability for the restorative justice programme.
