Former hockey international Catriona Carey appears in court on money laundering charges

Carey was charged with three counts of money laundering in the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court today.

FORMER IRELAND HOCKEY international Catriona Carey has appeared before Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on money laundering charges.

The 46-year-old, from Kilkenny but with an address at Rochford Manor, Graiguecullen, Co. Carlow, has been charged with three offences of money laundering between 2019 and 2021.

All three counts related to funds in a bank account in the name, Careysfort Asset Estates Ltd, a company owned by Catriona Carey.

Carey’s case was called before Judge Sarah Berkeley today, when her barrister Kevin Roche BL asked for an arraignment date for his client.

The judge listed the case for 30th June, when Carey will be formally asked how she pleads to the charges.

Her two co-accused also appeared before the court.

John Steadmond, 48, of Rossminogue, Craanford, Gorey, Co Wexford, and Paddy Maher, 57, of Glenmalure Gun Club, Glenmalure, Co. Wicklow are each charged with 17 related charges – including that they unlawfully acted as solicitors when not qualified to do so.

The bulk of the other charges against the two men related to persuading a number of people to pay deposits, having falsely represented that Careysfort Asset Estates Ltd was in a position to secure money for distressed mortgage holders, with the intention of making gains for themselves or others, or causing loss to another.

Steadmond and Maher were given the same date for their arraignments.
