• Portlaoise man convicted of money laundering as €1.2 million cash forfeited Money laundering · Co. Laois

  On 8 January 2021, €1,203,555 in cash was found in 24 vacuum-packed packages inside a van stopped on the southbound M7 motorway between Junctions 14 and 15 at Ballybrittas, Portlaoise, County Laois, and the driver was arrested. Eugene Doyle, a haulier aged 49 or 51 from Portlaoise, was charged with money laundering the sum. A jury at Portlaoise Circuit Court found Doyle guilty following a trial that began in October 2023, and the court ordered the cash forfeited to the State in March 2026. Doyle was remanded in custody, and sentencing is to be finalised at Mullingar Circuit Court on 15 May 2026. The van driver, who worked for Doyle's company Glenbrook Logistics, pleaded guilty and received a three-year suspended sentence backdated to his arrest.
