latest first- Two released without charge in Dublin perjury probe over McGregor appeal Perjury · Co. Dublin
Steven Cummins and Samantha O'Reilly, a couple in their 30s, were arrested in Dublin on 11 September 2025 over alleged perjury in the civil case between Nikita Hand and Conor McGregor. The couple had been introduced as new evidence in McGregor's appeal against a High Court jury finding that he raped Hand at the Beacon Hotel in December 2018, claiming to have seen Hand's then-boyfriend assault her that night, but their evidence was withdrawn by McGregor's own counsel on the morning of the appeal. The Court of Appeal referred the matter to the DPP, who directed the Garda to investigate, with the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation leading the inquiry. The couple were detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984 and released without charge on 11 September 2025, with a file to be prepared for the DPP and investigations ongoing.
