• Forged signature alleged in Dublin charity money laundering probe Money laundering · Co. Dublin

  Gardaí from the Money Laundering Investigation Unit at the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau are investigating Liberty Recycling, a Dublin-based textiles recycling charity, on suspicion that proceeds of crime were laundered through its bank accounts. Searches were carried out on 20 and 21 October 2026 across Dublin, the Eastern and Southern Regions, during which two BMW X5 cars worth around €250,000 and luxury goods including Louis Vuitton bags, Rolex watches and jewellery worth around €40,000 were seized. No one has been arrested or charged, and the High Court froze the charity's bank accounts and appointed provisional liquidators in late October. The charity is chaired by Sinn Féin TD Aengus Ó Snodaigh, who is not personally under investigation, and the Charities Regulator stated there is no evidence that Ó Snodaigh, Linda Behan or Brian Behan were involved in or had knowledge of wrongdoing. On 4 November, Ó Snodaigh alleged that a letter submitted to the High Court bore his forged signature and made a formal complaint to Gardaí to investigate the forgery.
