• No conviction recorded for rugby player in Limerick Snapchat fraud case Fraud (making gain or causing loss by deception) · Co. Limerick

  Three people in Limerick lost a combined €780 after replying to a Snapchat offering iPhones for sale and forwarding money to Daniel Okeke's bank account, with the phones never arriving. The offences occurred on 2 June 2020, when Okeke was 18. The 20-year-old man, who plays rugby for Shannon RFC and is part of the Munster Academy, pleaded guilty to three counts of making gain or causing loss by deception at Kilmallock Court in February 2022. In April 2022, Judge Patricia Harney applied the Probation Act on all three counts and recorded no conviction, citing Okeke's youth, full cooperation with gardai, and lack of previous convictions.
