The Special Criminal Court has been told that gardaí have found data from a tracking device which had been placed on a former Sinn Féin councillor's jeep, which they said last week had been destroyed
The data had been sought by Gerard Hutch’s defence counsel, but a senior officer told the court that it had been destroyed before this trial began.
Senior counsel Sean Gillane told the three judges today that an extensive operation, which included the Cyber Crime Unit, was being conducted by An Garda Síochána to see if the data could be retrieved. He said both he and defence counsel needed time to examine the material and the case has now been adjourned until this afternoon.
Gardaí also placed listening devices on the former Sinn Féin councillor's land cruiser to listen to their conversations.
