Prosecution alleges that Cahir O’Higgins withdrew €600 from an ATM, handed €200 in to court and kept the rest
Mr O’Higgins, of Cahir O’Higgins and Company, Kingsbride House, Parkgate Street, Dublin, denies the allegations against him. The court has heard that Mr O’Higgins is a criminal defence solicitor with more than 20 years’ experience. The prosecution alleges Mr O’Higgins made three withdrawals totalling €600 from the ATM and allegedly placed €400 into his pocket. A sum of €200 was paid to the court, and the case against Mr Sanz was then struck out.
He said Mr Sanz Quilis consented to the withdrawal of €600 from his account and there was “no doubt in my mind that I had his full permission to use his card”.
