Brian Murphy, a 53-year-old community worker, was charged with four counts of sending threatening or grossly offensive communications via Facebook to staff of the Russian embassy at Orwell Road, Rathgar, Dublin, in March 2022. He was arrested in October 2022 after a warrant was issued and appeared at Dublin District Court in November, where he was granted bail with a no-contact condition and later pleaded not guilty. His non-jury trial was scheduled for 19 June 2023 before Judge John Hughes, but no evidence was heard. The case was dismissed without prejudice after a witness failed to appear and the alleged injured party did not engage with prosecutors.
