Suspended sentence for former Google worker who tried to sell stolen laptop back to colleague
Summary
A former Google employee, Dariusz Rejniewicz, aged 29, was sentenced at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to a suspended two‑and‑a‑half‑year term for handling stolen property. The laptop was taken from a work locker at Google's Dublin 4 headquarters and Rejniewicz was caught the following day attempting to sell it back to its owner. He pleaded guilty to the offence and had also pleaded guilty to demanding money with menaces, but that charge was withdrawn after the judge found no evidence of threats. Rejniewicz was remanded on bail pending sentence and, after a probation report deemed "unfavourable," Judge Mary Ellen Ring suspended the entire sentence on the condition of 12 months' supervision by the Probation Service. He now works for a cleaning company following his dismissal from Google.
