A man who got £25,000 by a bank draft which was stolen during an armed robbery has been remanded on bail again by Dublin Circuit Criminal Court after he paid more compensation.
At a previous hearing, the court was told the bank draft was stolen during an armed robbery on a Wexford bank. It was later forged and used to lodge more than £85,000 into an account specially opened by Derek Bolger.
Det Garda Alexander Tracey agreed then with Mr Peter Charleton SC, prosecuting, that the defendant had nothing to do with the robbery. He said Bolger had been promised £10,000 for his role in the fraud but got nothing.
Bolger (27), of Castelfield Manor, Dublin, pleaded guilty to obtaining £25,000 by false pretences from the National Irish Bank, Walkinstown on October 8th, 1993.
Mr Patrick Gageby SC, defending, said his client had a further £2,100 in court as compensation. He had paid in £1,900 on the earlier date. Judge Michael Moriarty remanded him on continuing bail to July 19th.
