  Constantine Asimionesei, a 33-year-old man, was arrested in Rathcoole, Co Dublin, in March 2020 after being caught in a stolen vehicle, and was accused of stealing a Kia Niro worth €30,000, handling other stolen cars and parts, and possessing an electronic relay device. He left Ireland 12 days after his initial arrest and was extradited from Romania in February 2023 to face 15 charges under the Theft & Fraud Act. He appeared before Dublin District Court in February 2023, where the DPP directed a Circuit Court trial and he was remanded in custody with consent to bail. In December 2023, he was sentenced to five years' imprisonment with the final 18 months suspended, with Gardaí linking him to a gang responsible for 64 vehicle thefts worth about €1.6m.
