Drug dealer further sentenced for 'crudely' laundering own crime cash
Summary
A 24-year-old drug dealer, Kabir Adeyemo, has been further sentenced for laundering the proceeds of his own criminal activity in a 'crude and obvious' manner. Adeyemo pleaded guilty to multiple charges of having cash believed to be the proceeds of crime between November 2019 and July 2021. Garda Michael Curtin stated that €18,950 was deposited into Adeyemo's bank account during this period, and that he moved the money between his account, betting accounts, and back to his own. Judge Orla Crowe noted that the laundering was not a complex scheme and that Adeyemo was 'a man involved in crime' at the time. She acknowledged that Adeyemo has 58 previous convictions, including four for drug dealing, and that none of the cash was recovered. However, the judge accepted that Adeyemo has 'started to turn his life around' and is now a good father to his six-year-old son. She imposed a sentence of 18 months, with the final six months suspended on strict conditions.
