Dublin pensioner charged with money laundering offences involving more than €55,000
Director of Public Prosecutions has directed trial on indictment at Circuit Court for Frank Proudfoot
A 70-year-old man from Dublin has been charged with money laundering offences involving over €55,000, according to prosecutors. Frank Proudfoot, residing in North Circular Road, was brought to Richmond Hall on June 10th, 2022, where he was arrested and charged by Garda Pat Hearne, who is part of the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau.
Proudfoot made no response to the charges at Bridewell Garda station. The Director of Public Prosecutions has directed that Proudfoot's case proceed to trial before the Circuit Court, with the possibility of a signed plea being considered. Judge Darach McCarthy noted that Proudfoot did not have legal representation due to a dispute over legal aid reforms and granted bail on Proudfoot's own bond of €100, without the need for any cash deposit.
The court ordered the full disclosure of prosecution evidence and remanded Proudfoot to appear in court again on September 14th.
