Cases
latest first- Judge threatens removal in settled Co Meath proceeds of crime case Proceeds of crime (Criminal Assets Bureau case) · Co. Meath
The Criminal Assets Bureau identified a Co Meath land portfolio at Waynestown as proceeds of crime, alleging it was purchased for €102,000 partly with cash from unknown sources linked to Marcus Sweeney's firm EWM Property Holdings. Sweeney, a 47-year-old restaurateur, is alleged to have directed Evergreen Wealth Management, which accepted €721,000 in cash lodgements from unknown sources between 2014 and 2020, including a €20,000 investment by convicted heroin dealer Brian Grendon in 2015. In January 2023, a High Court judge ruled there was a high degree of probability the land was acquired with crime proceeds, and in March 2023 Sweeney settled the case by handing over 2.78 hectares. In February 2025, the judge threatened to remove Sweeney from court for being a nuisance when he attempted to re-enter the settled matter.
