CAB could halt mob bosses launching endless and costly legal battles under proposed new powers
The Criminal Assets Bureau is to be given new powers that will put a halt to mob bosses launching endless court battles against it.
And under the new proposals criminals will no longer be able to delay the seizure of properties deemed to be the proceeds of crime. The courts will automatically appoint a receiver to a property when a decision is made that an asset is a proceed of crime pending a final disposal order. That means assets which are seized – such as the recent seizure of a mansion in Saggart, Co Dublin, that was “under the control” of the Kinahan cartel – can be utilised for other purposes far sooner.
Drug dealer Gilligan took his battle with the CAB all the way to the European Courts after he made an unprecedented 29 appeals in the Irish courts.
