A Kinahan cartel quartermaster, his wife and his Hungarian “mistress” laundered approximately €1.3million in crime cash, the Special Criminal Court heard.Brady’s wife Deirdre, 53, also used €138,000 of the cash to pay the mortgage on his Majorca holiday property “in complete ignorance” that he was staying in it with Ms Lukacs, judges were told.

Deirdre Brady, the mother of his three adult children, had laundered €770,499 and Erika Lukacs, with whom Brady had a four-year-old child, had laundered €196,864. Counsel for Mrs Brady, Michael Bowman SC, said his client was “acting blind” and “in complete ignorance” when she paid the rent on a property, which her husband had shared with his “mistress”.

Deirdre Brady, of The Bailey, Castlefarm, Naas, Co Kildare, pleaded guilty to money laundering on various dates between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2014. Detective Sergeant Tom Anderson, of the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau, told Fiona Murphy SC, prosecuting, that the laundering was uncovered after Brady was caught with 15 firearms at a warehouse in Dublin 24 in 2016.
