A 30-year-old Derry man was returned for trial when he appeared at a preliminary enquiry at the city’s Magistrates Court earlier today charged with acquiring, converting and transferring criminal property totalling almost £90,000.
Keith Deehan, of Jacqueline Way in the city, is charged with acquiring criminal property, namely the sum of £60,814.51, on dates between the 22 August, 2006 and 22 of August, 2012.
He is further charged with transferring criminal property, namely the sum of £10,000, on 11 March, 2010.
He is also accused of converting criminal property, namely the sum of £10,000, on 15 March, 2010.
Deehan also faces a further charge of dishonestly obtaining a money transfer for himself on 27 July, 2004.
He faces 16 additional charges of dishonestly making false representation to Derry Credit Union between 26 October, 2007 and 10 September, 2012.
At today’s preliminary enquiry, he replied “not at this stage” when asked if he had anything to say to the charges against him.
After being informed by defence solicitor, Paddy McDermott, that Deehan accepted there was a prima facie case against him, Resident Magistrate returned the accused for trial on bail of £500 to appear at Derry Crown Court on 22 May next.
