Partner of drugs mob enforcer claims 34,000 hidden under oven is 'run-away' money
Briefly

In a notable ruling, a court in Limerick has determined that a significant cache of cash, amounting to thousands of euros and unearthed from the home of gang enforcer Patrick Moloney, is indeed proceeds of crime. This decision follows testimonies revealing that Moloney, involved in organized crime, attracted further scrutiny due to his gambling habits and receipt of government housing allowances. Although Moloney's partner, Leeann Carey, posited that the cash was intended as 'run-away' money, the judge dismissed her claims based on the evidence presented.
The judge emphasized that the cash stash discovered in Patrick Moloney's home was conclusively linked to his criminal activities, marking it as proceeds of crime.
Despite claims of the money being 'run-away' savings, the court found no credible evidence to support Leeann Carey's assertions, ultimately ruling in favor of law enforcement.
