Photograph: Collins CourtsA former radio DJ who had €15,000 lodged into her bank account as part of a money-laundering scam has avoided a criminal conviction and jail time.
Two further counts of possessing €2,600 and €2,400 as the proceeds of crime in her account on November 6th, 2020, were taken into consideration by Dublin Circuit Criminal Court. She has now completed this and is drug- and alcohol-free, defence counsel Keith Spencer told the court. O’Keeffe has repaid all the money that was taken from the injured party’s account, the court heard.
O’Keeffe is no longer employed in her former field and is engaged in further training, the court heard. “Her loss of status is something I’m entitled to have regard to,” the judge said.
