Teenager charged with arson of house shows no remorse, court hears
A 14-year-old boy showed no remorse for allegedly taking part in a firebomb attack that destroyed an innocent family's home in Dublin and killed their pet husky trapped in the blaze, a court heard. The teenager, charged with arson of the house on Landen Road, Ballyfermot, which was left gutted on May 21st, was denied bail on Saturday. He was remanded to the Oberstown Children Detention Campus after appearing before Judge Maire Conneely at Dublin District Court. The boy, who cannot be named because he is a juvenile with the right to anonymity, made no reply when charged in advance of his court appearance after he was deemed unsuitable for inclusion in the Garda Youth Diversion Programme. READ MORE Objecting to bail due to the seriousness of the case, Garda Alan McGinty recounted that at 2.28am, gardaí responded to a report of a domestic fire at the home. They learned that one resident was asleep in the livingroom, but he woke to the sound of glass smashing and found the room was on fire. The man's wife, son and their dog were in the property at the time. The family got out but the pet husky 'was still trapped inside and died in the fire'. The court heard the innocent family's home was 'totally' destroyed in the attack, after which a witness overheard a male yell 'wrong house'. Evidence was given that two males in balaclavas arrived at the house on an electric bicycle, and the defendant was allegedly the driver, while his passenger carried and threw the burning petrol can. Images of the scene were handed over to the court, which also heard there was CCTV footage, but the judge held it was unnecessary to view the video. She noted allegations that a jerrycan of petrol was bought at a service station three hours before the incident before being brought to and hidden in bushes at a building in the Dolphin's Barn area. It was alleged that shortly before 2:30am, two males arrived in a taxi, put on balaclavas and travelled to Landen Road on an electric bicycle. Garda McGinty alleged that they could be tracked on CCTV and, after the arson, they returned to the Dolphin's Barn area and handed the electric bicycle back to another person. It was alleged that the boy and another male went away in a taxi and the vehicle's dashcam footage has been retrieved, leading to his identification. The jacket he allegedly wore in the taxi was found during a search of his home. Garda McGinty stated that during the interview, the teenager, who has no prior criminal convictions, showed no remorse. The boy, supported in court by his mother and other family members, sat silently at the side of the courtroom and has not yet indicated a plea. The judge noted that no bail terms would alleviate the concerns of the investigation team. A decision has yet to be made on his trial venue but defence barrister Kevin McCrave submitted it was likely the case would go to the Circuit Court, which has greater sentencing powers. He submitted that refusal of bail would mean he could be held for a year before his trial and disrupt his education. He urged the judge to note that the teenager would abide by a myriad of strict conditions available to the court. Referencing the Children's Act, he cited the law, which sets out that detention should be a last resort. He stressed the teen had the presumption of innocence, no prior convictions, history of drug abuse or failing to appear in court and there was no witness intimidation evidence. Judge Conneely held, however, that the garda had established a case for refusing bail and remanded the boy in custody to appear at the Children's Court on Wednesday.

Businessman sent masked spy to watch ex through her window, court hears
A Dublin businessman flouted a protection order by sending a masked man to spy on his ex-partner through her window at night and e-mailing her work, saying 'I've nothing to lose', a court heard. The man in his late 20s, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, was charged with breaching the Domestic Violence Act order and refused bail by Judge Maire Conneely on Saturday. Voicing concerns about possible witness interference, a local garda told Dublin District Court that the woman had secured a protection order at the start of May but continued to live with the accused for several weeks. She recently moved out, however, and was staying at another house in a different part of the city. READ MORE It was alleged her ex-partner sent an email to her work on Friday, booked an appointment with her and one message quoted in court read: 'I have nothing to lose, watch what I do today.' The garda testified that in the early hours of Saturday, a masked man on a bike was sent by the accused to her new home and there was CCTV evidence. The woman also alleged the person outside had been shouting: 'Where are you? Where are you?' She said she stood behind her curtains but heard the man speaking on his phone, telling someone 'he could see her inside'. Visibly upset, the woman told Judge Conneely that she could see the 'fully covered' man at her window talking about her and referring to her with a version of her name only used by her ex-partner. She broke down and wept as she spoke out, claiming her ex became nasty when he abused alcohol and drugs, which had resulted in her seeking the protection order. The woman alleged that the man blocked her from re-entering their former shared home when she needed to retrieve her work uniform. Cross-examined, defence counsel Kevin McCrave put it to her that she kicked or damaged the door and that his client had offered to leave her uniform outside, which she did not accept. She also alleged she had to move her car because of a threat to damage it, saying, 'I am in genuine fear'. Mr McCrave stressed that his client maintained he was innocent and would abide by strict conditions, including not going near his former partner's new address and refraining from contacting her. Judge Conneely said the accused has the presumption of innocence, but held that the garda had established grounds as she denied bail. The accused did not testify during the proceedings and spoke only to consult his barrister. The man, who awaits a full hearing of the charge, was remanded in custody to appear again next week. After the judge made her decision, the accused raised concerns, via his counsel, about his work and the lack of someone to care for and feed his pets before he was escorted from the court.

Hizbullah and Iran suspected of involvement in MV Matthew smuggling operation
Elements of the Iranian regime and its proxies in the Hizbullah terrorist group helped finance the importation of €156 million worth of cocaine into Ireland in 2023, authorities believe. Investigators also suspect the Kinahan organised crime group, along with several other transnational gangs contributed funding and logistical to the operation. The drugs were shipped to Ireland aboard the MV Matthew, a Panamanian flagged bulk carrier. Gardaí and Revenue received prior intelligence and the operation was foiled when the Naval Service intercepted the vessel off Cork. Elite troops from the Army Ranger Ring fast-roped on to the Matthew from a helicopter before quickly taking the ship and seizing 2.2 tonnes of cocaine, the largest seizure in the State's history. READ MORE On Friday, eight members of the crews of the Matthew and the fishing boat Castlemore – which was due to ferry the cocaine to the mainland – received prison sentences of between 13½ and 20 years, making a combined total of 129 years, after pleading guilty in the Special Criminal Court to possession of the drugs. [ 'Go like f**k mate': How the MV Matthew ship and a €157 million drugs haul was seized Opens in new window ] The court heard of the involvement of 'a major Iranian nexus in this operation'. Sources said that was a reference to criminals with links to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a sprawling military unit which exerts significant influence in the country.

Photograph: PA Gardaí and Interpol believe IRGC operatives, or those acting on its behalf, helped fund and organise the smuggling operation in co-operation with Hizbullah. Specifically, they believe two Iranians jailed by the Special Criminal Court yesterday, Soheil Jelveh (51) and Saeid Hassani (39) are linked to Hizbullah. [ How the MV Matthew ship and its drugs were seized Opens in new window ] They also believe a man from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), who ran the operation from Dubai, is linked to the militant group. This man, who used the handle Captain Noah to communicate with the crew, remains in the UAE. At a press conference regarding the case at Haubowline Naval Base in Cork on Saturday, authorities declined to go into detail on the Iran and Hizbullah links. Partially burned drugs hidden in a lifeboat aboard the MV Matthew. The MV Matthew being pursued by the navy. 'Our investigations to date indicate that a number of transglobal organised crime networks would be required for an operation as significant as this. So multiple other entities and other groups are being examined,' said Assistant Garda Commissioner Angela Willis. Gardaí will now begin to examine activity in other countries 'to ascertain where the financing and the funding originated', she said. She indicated that the Kinahan organised crime group forms part of the investigation. 'It would be reasonable to assume that they would be one of a number of organised crime groups that would be involved in something of this nature.' Dave Cantor, Interpol's director of organised and emerging crime, said Irish criminals were at the 'top tier' of global organised crime. He said they have been 'working tirelessly to identify linkages to other parts of the world'. 'We have been successful in identifying criminal connections ... to South America as well as to the Middle East,' he said. However, he declined to specify the nature of those connections. David Caunter, director of organised and emerging crime at Interpol. Photograph: PA It is not the first time the Iranian regime has been suspected of involvement in international organised crime. The US and Turkey have accused it of hiring criminal gangs to carry out assassinations overseas. Iran has strongly denied the claims. It is also not the first time Iran has been accused of working with the Kinahans. Earlier this year, Jack Kelly, a retired agent with the United States' Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), told a BBC documentary that the Kinahans were hired by Iran to kill a dissident figure in the Netherlands in 2015. Speaking about the MV Matthew operation on Saturday, Ms Willis said transnational crime groups 'know no borders'. 'They prey on people's vulnerability for their own financial gain. People are dispensable and expendable when no longer of use to the criminal organisation. Life is cheap and protecting their core criminal interest, which is money, is their key priority.' She said people who consume illegal drugs were funding these criminals and were 'directly linked to the misery and to the suffering these criminal organisations inflict on our communities.' The MV Matthew, which has been seized by the State, remains in Cork Harbour. A potential buyer for the vessel has been identified, Revenue Commissioner Ruth Kennedy said. However, a significant amount of regulatory work must be completed before it can be sold. The ship may be scrapped or refurbished and put back to sea, officials said.
