A 48-year-old Sligoman laundered vast sums of money through two bank accounts for crime boss known as ‘Dublin Jimmy’ after meeting him in town centre pub.

Edward Killian stated he almost fell to the ground on seeing news reports of the death of Cyril McGuinness nicknamed ‘Dublin Jimmy’ as he only realised then on viewing his photographs who he had been dealing with.

Sligo Circuit Court heard that Killian naively became the sole director of a company through which he laundered money for McGuinness.

Killian, who is single, thought he was helping the criminal mastermind avoid VAT and went along with the laundering after being promised he would be looked after with money at the end but he never received anything.

‘Dublin Jimmy’ came to national prominence during the investigation into the abduction and torture of Quinn Industrial Holdings director Kevin Lunney
