Mr Justice Owens rejected many of the arguments put forward by Mr Browning’s relatives about the origins of funds.
Senior Kinahan crime gang figure Ross Browning has been ordered to pay much of the Criminal Assets Bureau’s legal costs incurred in securing declarations that more than €1 million of assets linked to him were obtained with crime proceeds.
He said the evidence presented by the Cab established “as a matter of probability that Ross Browning has had an ongoing and significant involvement in organised crime for a significant number of years and is a senior member of the Kinahan organised crime gang”. No order was made in relation to the legal costs incurred in securing declarations and freezing orders in relation to a Garristown site cottage, called Chestnut Lodge, in which lived Mr Browning’s mother, Julie Conway, and her husband David O’Brien, a former garda. This means each of the parties will pay their own legal fees for this element of the case.
