A Kinahan gangster has failed in an attempt to have the Criminal Assets Bureau hand back €75,000 it seized from him

The High Court judge in the case also warned people with large sums of money to be aware that criminals may use it to launder criminal cash.

On the days after the raid Whelan executed a loan agreement with uncle-in-law John Wilson for €75,000 and the money was transferred into Whelan's bank account. Wilson got the money from a compensation claim.The High Court has now ruled that Whelan got the money from Wilson as part of "a money laundering exercise" and that "his intention was to repay John Wilson from the proceeds of crime".

He also said that John Wilson should have known that an arrangement which involves handling money which cannot be shown to be from a legitimate source carries risks because €10,000 in cash had been seized from him by Customs.
