Cork Father And Son Deny Northern Bank Involvement
A father and son from Cork have denied laundering money taken during the Northern Bank robbery five years ago.
Timothy 'Ted' Cunningham, 60, and Timothy John Cunningham, 33, pleaded not guilty to 24 charges of 'laundering' sums of over £3 million.
The Cork Circuit Criminal Court jury of eight men and four women heard yesterday that the case could last up to 12 weeks.
Jury members were told they would have to be free until Easter. The state has presented a witnesses list totalling up to 250.
The main charge is that, between December 20, 2004 and February 16, 2005, at Farran, in Co Cork, the men had £3,010,380 in cash in their possession believing it to be, or being reckless as to whether it was, the proceeds of criminal conduct.
Last October a former employee was cleared of involvement in the 2004 Northern Bank raid, after the trial sensationally collapsed at Belfast Crown Court.
Twenty-six year old Christopher Ward, from the west of the city, was wrongly accused of robbing £26.5 million from the bank's headquarters in Belfast.
