Money mule who sold account for €200 spends weekend in jail
Summary
Noah Abdurahmanov, 25, originally from Chechnya, sold his bank card and details for €200, which he used to purchase flights back to Chechnya. The account was then used to launder €10,000. He pleaded guilty to possession of the proceeds of criminal conduct on 12 July 2018. Judge Martin Nolan remanded him in custody until the sentencing hearing, where he was given a suspended two‑year sentence. The judge noted that money laundering is not a victimless crime and that Abdurahmanov's actions benefited serious criminals. The €10,000 was transferred to the accused's account and then withdrawn via ATMs and sent to three other accounts; the money has not been recovered. Abdurahmanov admitted he was reckless and that he knew the card would be used in this manner. The case was prosecuted by Noel Devitt BL and defended by Kieran Kelly BL.
