Interesting.

Hope the plods/customs figured that out and got the Spanish police/customs alerted to a possible decoy!

I am sure it is happening every day of the week this kind of transfer of cash. Probably easier to launder abroad (no offence to certain countries!) than it is here or in UK.

But I'm guessing the plod know the score.

It's probably a deposit for Margaret Cash. Housing is cheaper in Spain. LOL.

Some decoy if he’s carrying enough to get arrested himself

there is no limit on bringing cash between 2 eu countries and no requirement to declare. Gilligan was arrested for money laundering.

Money laundering.......don't make me laugh!
I'm pretty sure he was paying for goods he was planning to import!

What should he do NOW when it would be impossible to go legit.

I'm not surprised he's gone down this direction again as I dont see his Legit options available to him.

What do you mean impossible ? Start in a ordinary minimum wage job like everybody else starting over.

Hopefully he gets 15+ yrs in the clink up north as that would bring him into his 80s. And that he's incarcerated with some loyalist scumbags.

I don't even care who he works with anymore this man is vermin. He is a cancer on society, and I say that with someone who has members of his family in prison for similar activities. To me it is unforgivable. The very fact he could get as far as Belfast with that kind of money is due to marvellous work from our guardians.

He must have picked up the cash in the North. Everyone is stopped at the border and their money is counted.

I've carried large amounts of money on me before.

Not everyone is poor.

I need more information before I can cast judgement.

What does that have to do with him carrying money?

It's everything to do with him carrying money. His money isn't legit. It's to do with the rape, murder and Drug dealing he's had his hand in the past 30 years.

Factory John, the NIPS will break him where the IPS failed.

He used to be a vicious drug dealer.

But the money he was caught with. What proof is there it's drug money?

None. But by law he must declare cash over 10k or risk having it retained. And theres more to the story than we know.

There's an Irish podcast called Mens Rea - it has a very recent two part episode on Veronica Guerin where giligan featured HEAVILY and its very well done.


I am a bit ignorant to all this, the podcast definitely opened my ears.

OK. So we know he didn't declare money over 10k. This is wrong and he should receive the relevant prosecution.

DEFTLEFTHAND

This cretin orchestrated the death of Veronica Guerin.

A crime that was even viewed with disdain within the underworld.


He's a bad POS and he deserves nobodies symypathy.


He warrants everything he gets.

Cash amount should be reduced to say 3k.

They don't smell the amount they smell cash from ink print and then notify.

On a side note his mitigation is brilliant. I was under threat I wanted to get out with my money

Yeah and her majesty will be paying for it. He was arrested in a different jurisdiction.

That is incorrect.

He was travelling within the EU so he had no obligation to declare the money.

Your right Battlecorp it used to be 13k within the EU but that was changed a number of years ago, no limit in the EU but you will need to explain it if found.

Back up today.

Interestingly it seems he admitted having the money when asked by officials.

Mr Gilligan had readily volunteered he was carrying the cash when questioned by members of the UK border force at the airport about drugs and, or, monies.

Oh! and here's me thinking the sniffer dogs knew how to count the money! :rolleyes:

I wish they would use his money to build a giant catapult and then use it to fire the smug little sh1t out into the Atlantic.
