Sandra Hehir pleaded guilty to money laundering at the Special Criminal Court in October 2023, for handling €124,055 at her Limerick home on 17 June 2020.

At a sentence hearing on 4 December 2023, the court heard that €124,055 had been found in 13 bundles in the attic of her home. Gardaí also said Hehir had accumulated €68,000 in savings over five years and withdrawn €70,000 to pay down her mortgage, which they said did not align with her legitimate income.

The court heard that five other money laundering counts could be taken into consideration, while prosecutors intended to enter a nolle prosequi on three further counts. The sentence hearing was adjourned until 29 January, and Hehir was remanded on continuing bail.
