Former accountant laundered nearly €290k in fraud cash
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Cyrol Keegan was jailed today for three years, nine months while Kennedy was given a suspended two-year sentence. Handing down sentence, Judge Martin Nolan said Keegan involved himself with Simon Gold and allowed his bank account to be used to transfer funds. "He must have known he was involved in this fraudulent behaviour," the judge said, later adding: "Mr Keegan must have known this was a case where these parties were going to be defrauded of monies." He said he had read the victim impact statement which was handed into court and that great distress had been caused to the injured parties who lost money.
