Saleban Abdisahar, of no fixed abode in Sweden, pleaded guilty to three counts of facilitating the illegal entry of people into the State.
A SWEDISH CITIZEN has been sentenced to three years in prison for attempting to smuggle five people into Ireland last year.
The judge set a headline sentence of five or six years but reduced this on the basis of Abdisahar’s early plea, his cooperation with Gardaí, his lack of any previous convictions and the unlikelihood of him offending again.An investigating garda told Karl Finnegan BL, prosecuting, that Abdisahar caught the attention of immigration control officers last 18 February when he arrived into Terminal One on a Ryanair flight from Bordeaux, France.
Abdisahar’s phone was also found to contain multiple photos of passports and boarding passes for flights from Bordeaux to Ireland, along with a Dutch passport which was not his. This woman’s phone was also examined and found to contain screenshots and information linking her to Abdisahar’s phone.
