Cartel hitman's case adjourned pending appeal in Liam Cambell extradition case
Stage: Appeal
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Imre Arakas (62) was jailed by the Special Criminal Court for six years in December 2018 after he admitted to conspiring with others to murder James Gately in Northern Ireland between April 3 and 4, 2017. However, Arakas was jailed by the non-jury Special Criminal Court for six years in December 2018 after he pleaded guilty to conspiring with others to murder Mr Gately in Northern Ireland between April 3 and 4, 2017.; She said it was the State's view that it was premature to make an application for second counsel and submitted that the hearing for Arakas ought to be adjourned pending hearing in the Campbell case.
