Zainab Agoro, a 22-year-old woman from Clongriffen, Dublin, is set to stand trial at Letterkenny Circuit Court, beginning on October 29th. She faces 57 charges related to money laundering and 27 theft charges.
Agoro is accused of handling, transferring, and using property derived from criminal conduct, including an ATM lodgement of €1,350 into her Allied Irish Bank account. The charge alleges that she was reckless in her actions, unaware or indifferent to whether the funds were proceeds of crime.
The charges cover multiple dates and locations, with a total of 57 counts related to money laundering. Additionally, Agoro faces 24 theft-related charges. One example includes the theft of €350, which was lodged into an Allied Irish Bank account on April 11th, 2022, in Portlaoise, Co. Laois. The stolen funds were reportedly from the Department of Social Protection.
Garda Gillian Page provided evidence of Agoro’s arrest and charges at Letterkenny District Court. Agoro’s solicitor, Mr. Patsy Gallagher, requested both senior and junior counsel for the upcoming trial, citing the complexity of the case.
Judge Michael Ramsey adjourned the proceedings until the trial begins on October 29th at the Letterkenny Circuit Court.
