Cash found in knee-high boot is deemed proceeds of crime
Summary
In a High Court hearing, the Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) argued that €10,700 found in a ladies' knee‑high boot and a man's jacket during a Garda search of Lisa Moore's home in Tallaght was proceeds of crime. The money was discovered on 31 August 2016. Moore denied the claim, stating the cash came from the sale of a car she owned, while her partner Robert Keeley made no comment. CAB's application was set to be heard by Justice Carmel Stewart, but the matter was settled after lawyers from CAB and Moore negotiated. CAB maintained that Keeley is linked to organised crime and has convictions for traffic offences, and that the couple's lifestyle and the property's high‑end security features suggested illicit income. The settlement allowed CAB to seek an order deeming the cash proceeds of crime under the 1996 Proceeds of Crime Act. The case was resolved before a final court order was issued.
