Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 February 2006
525 Mr. J. O’Keeffe asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the number of successful prosecutions for money laundering since the passage of the Criminal Justice Act 1994 on the 30 June 1994; and the details of each case and the penalty handed down. [6323/06]
Amharc ar fhreagraUnder the provisions of the Criminal Justice Act 1994, certain money laundering offences came into effect on 14 November 1994.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that to date there have been 58 prosecutions initiated with 38 convictions secured. A further four cases are awaiting determination before the courts. I am further informed by the Garda authorities that the specific information requested in regard to each case and the penalty handed down is not readily available in the format required and would require a disproportionate expenditure of Garda time and resources to compile.
