Abdallatif Mohamed (40), also known as Hussein, was sentenced to five years, with the final six months suspended on strict conditions, for four counts of assisting women’s unlawful entry into the State. The sentence was backdated to the date he went into custody. He pleaded guilty to the four counts, which concerned the use of Somali diplomatic passports to help several women enter the State at Dublin Airport during a three-month period in 2024.

Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard that Mohamed was working in the diplomatic services at the time. Judge Dara Hayes said the offending was serious and that using diplomatic passports was an aggravating feature.
