Summary

A 34‑year‑old Limerick man, Richard Treacy, was charged at the Special Criminal Court with an alleged money‑laundering offence linked to renovation work at his home. The charge alleges that between 1 January 2014 and 12 January 2021, Treacy either knew or was reckless about whether the renovation work was funded by proceeds of criminal conduct, and that he concealed the true source of the property. The offence contravenes Section 7 of the Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) Act 2010. Treacy was arrested on a warrant issued by the Special Criminal Court and presented to the court in the Criminal Courts of Justice building on Parkgate Street, Dublin. He was charged before a three‑judge, non‑jury court, and Mr Justice Tony Hunt ordered that he be tried before the court.
