The charges related to the alleged kidnapping of a Securicor worker’s family in Raheny and the robbery of cash from Paul Richardson and Securicor Security Services Ireland Ltd in March 2005. The retrial followed the overturning of earlier convictions after a Supreme Court ruling on search warrants.
