The over €1 million of assets seized from Ross Browning include a complex containing a horse-riding arena, cars, jewellery and designer watches.
THE HIGH COURT has ruled that over €1 million of assets including a complex containing a horse-riding arena in North Co Dublin, cars, jewellery and designer watches linked to senior Kinahan organised crime gang member Ross Browning were obtained with the proceeds of crime.
Ross Browning and his partner Sinead Mulhall had attended Daniel Kinahan’s wedding in Dubai in 2017, and Christopher Kinahan junior wedding in Spain in 2010, the judge said. Browning’s relatives, including his mother Julie Conway and her husband a former Garda, claimed an interest in the assets, and had contended that they spent legitimate funds on the renovation of Chestnut Lodge where they reside.It is also claimed that CAB was not entitled to take possession assets that it is alleged form part of the estate of the late William Conway, who was Browning’s grandfather, who died in 2018.
In his judgement Mr Justice Owens said that he accepted that most of the assets sought by cab were acquired with monies from Browning and rejected most of the arguments put forward by relatives of Browning regarding the origin of the funds. That money was provided by relatives and was to be returned by Browning in due course the judge said.The court accepted that Julie Conway and her husband did retain an interest in the cost of refurbishing Chestnut Lodge.
Browning was also the person behind the acquisition and renovation of the house at Deanstown Road, the judge said. Ian O’Heaire had no control over it, nor did he ever receive any rent. “These relatives have involved themselves in highly culpable activities. They either facilitated money laundering or took benefits funded by organised crime of the most serious sort,” the judge said.
