Man handled goods stolen from DoneDeal users in 'devious crime'

Summary

Ibrahim Azeez, 28, pleaded guilty in Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to handling two stolen laptops, a phone and a camera that had been bought through a fake PayPal account. The items, worth €2,875, were sent by registered post to a man in Lucan who never paid. A post office worker, suspicious of fake ID, reported the incident; CCTV and a utility bill linked the man's car registration to Azeez, leading to his arrest. Azeez denied wrongdoing and claimed he would raise money to reimburse the owners. The court described the offence as a devious crime but, finding it unfair to imprison him, Judge Martin Nolan imposed a suspended sentence of two and a half years. Azeez must pay €3,000 within a month and an additional €2,000 within 12 months to the victims, with the full sentence suspended on that condition.
