• Man given suspended sentence after bank account used in Limerick student accommodation fraud Handling the proceeds of crime (fraud) · Co. Limerick

  Martin Awoke (26), of Alexandra House, Tallaght, Dublin, allowed his bank account to be used in a scheme to defraud people seeking student accommodation in Limerick. Two injured parties paid €5,940 and €3,880 into the account. Awoke pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to handling the proceeds of crime on 12 August 2022. On 1 May 2024 Judge Sarah Berkeley adjourned the case to 8 July 2024 so he could find work and raise compensation, and in July 2025 she imposed a two-year sentence suspended on strict conditions.
