Retired senior garda further charged with conspiracy
A retired garda superintendent accused of facilitating a criminal organisation has been further charged with conspiring with a detective to deceive people out of money.
Retired Garda Superintendent John Murphy and Detective Garda Aidan Stratford have been charged with conspiracy to deceive people out of money, according to prosecutors. This additional charge comes after a retired Garda superintendent was accused of facilitating a criminal organization. Detective Inspector Brian Roberts, 51, was cleared of charges after prosecutors dropped the case.
The Garda National Bureau of Criminal Investigation has now filed 189 charges against four remaining defendants in a corruption probe. The trial for the four men is set to commence on 6 November at the District Court.
