Dowdall tells Regency trial he 'didn't know there was this big Hutch criminal organisation'
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Asked if he thought the evidence was "soft-pedalled" at his sentence hearing, Dowdall said he didn't. "Your position is that you had no knowledge whatsoever about that room and you had no involvement in the booking," asked Mr Grehan. "No I had no knowledge," he replied. Dowdall's father Patrick Dowdall (65) was jailed for two years before the Regency trial started after he also admitted his part in booking the hotel room for the raiders.
