RTE Investigates [RTE 1]

But how do you know this, was she an employee of the UK company, was she liable for taxation, BIK etc here 🤔 we just don't know .

Exactly, all revenue ever say is " we are of the opinion that you owe us XYZ" . So you either pay up or incur more penalties or skip the jurisdiction or prepare do do a bit of porridge.

Yes but those questions won't be coming from Revenue, they'll be coming from HMRC who, from I can see won't be particularly interested unless she's avoided UK taxes

Not if she's an employee of an English company but again, we just don't know, I'm not entirely sure this notion, Revenue will be getting involved in this, stacks up.

From what I've seen on this Debacle (Take other companies out of the loop) she's ran this entire scam through a UK registered company. HMRC will only have one concern, Tax/Vat liable to the UK government based on turnover, income , not a person in Ireland being scammed.

Lol , sorry , I'm on the Live line thread also 🤣

Involved until 2019! I thought they fell out long before that.

She has a brother jack... could be another jack carey

From what i can see she is no master criminal, and is clearly mentally unhinged, she's literally stealing and spending and all in public and this behavior has been going even when she worked for the family ? the chick is batshit

I'm not in the least surprised that she was able to do this without either accounts or audiors becoming alarmed.didnt we have a situation not all that long ago where one of the leading auditing firms in the country missed/ turned a blind eye/ ignored whatever a situation where one bank transferred 9 billion! To another bank in December and then received back the 9 billion in January! Did the auditors go to the wall? Like hell, they changed their name from Ernst & Young to EY !

It wouldn't have done much good. He would just owe €35k less when the bank repossessed and sold his property. He obviously owed a lot more that €35K, was in negative equity and in arrears.

This is it. The whole thing stinks to high heaven. They bought into the BS of the land league freeman nonsense I think. A lot of them did. Their mortgage was so distressed that the Credit Union handed them 10k. Yeh pull the other one love. RTE should have asked to see mortgage statements to ensure everything tallied.

I'm wouldn't think there was a repossession pending at all. Why would they still be in their homes 3 years later? I'd say they were going though the process perhaps in the courts.

As we all know though if someone is trying their best to pay what they can afford based on their financial means then repossession is impossible in this country. Especially with engagement. I was in the repossession court about 5 years ago, Out of 75 cases not one order was granted. And there were people who were in 50k arrears and only paying 200 quid a month to service a mortgage of 1200.

There is something about the victims that just doesn't sit right with me. I can't put my finger on it though.

I was there to support my brother but yeh I get what your saying. The one thing the registrar kept an emphasis on that day was engagement.

Anyone know how you would manage to spend 2k in a shop that sells hockey equipment? They just play with sticks, Im wondering is the whole team playing with gear bought with the proceeds of this scam. Also she spent 22k in one go in Armani Exchange in Orlando, unless she was buying jewelry she must have been struggling out the door with tons of bags.

Anyway it seems that she was involved in the whole ecosystem of scam artists that was set up during the crash and promising people they could hang on to their houses without paying the mortgage, all that Freeman of the land nonsense. I cant link to it but Google "The sister of DJ Carey is linked to shadowy trust", the article is by the Mail on Sunday and Pressreader have it.

It states that Catriona Carey is one of three "main players" in Charlie Allens trust and that they were holding meetings in hotels in Kilkenny back in 2013 for people who were in mortgage difficulty. The scam was that the householder would pay a fee to to this trust and also sign over their property ownership and power of attorney to them, the trust would then take on the banks in court and then take 10% of the value of the property as their fee.

The article says that this trust claimed to have ownership of more than 1 billion of property, some of those who were scammed handed them over multiple properties. Also Thomas Byrne (FF TD) met the owner of this trust (Charlie Allen) at Leinster House becasue a constituent of his was involved and was getting worried. Allen told Byrne that they had a legal loophole to keep all the properties. Byrne (who is a solicitor himself) told him no such legal loophole existed and the meeting ended abruptly. Thomas Byrne then reported Charliie Allen to the Gardai but obviously nothing ever came of that. He also went into the Seanad and made a speech on it claiming that it "had all the hallmarks of a scam"

sorry, you're right, 22k on the 7 day holiday which excluded the price of the flights
