Jonathan Gill’s false-imprisonment trial collapsed at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, reported on 12 April 2017. The case concerned allegations that a Drogheda family was kidnapped during a €660,000 robbery.

The judge discharged the jury after a juror raised concerns that information about the case was coming from outside the trial. Gill had pleaded not guilty and was remanded on continuing bail to appear again on 28 April.
