A six-figure sum of cash was found hidden when gardaí searched the home of a man who had committed two murders in the space of two days last year in Sligo.
That’s according to reports in today’s Irish Independent.
Yesterday at the Central Criminal Court, Yousef Palani (23), of Markievicz Heights in Sligo, pleaded guilty to the murder of Aidan Moffitt at Cartron Heights in Sligo on April 10, 2022.
He also pleaded guilty to the murder of Michael Snee at City View, Connaughton Road, Sligo, two days later.
Palani further pleaded guilty to causing serious harm to Anthony Burke at Cleveragh Road in Sligo on April 9, 2022.
The large amount of cash seized by gardaí during the search of Palani’s home is the subject of an ongoing Criminal Assets Bureau (Cab) investigation but sources said it is not suspected to have originated from criminality.
“The origin of that money has not yet been fully determined,” a source said last night.
