Waterford Woman Pleads Guilty to Money-Laundering

Nicola Brown, a 37-year-old resident of St John’s Park, Waterford, has pleaded guilty to committing money-laundering during the period of February 3 to 5, 2024. Brown made her plea at Waterford Circuit Court before Judge Eugene O’Kelly.

She admitted to a charge of money-laundering contrary to Section 7.1.a and 7.1.b, having laundered €5,600 through a Revolut account.

During the hearing, defence counsel Gareth Hayden BL requested that a probation report be prepared ahead of sentencing, highlighting that his client has "significant substance abuse problems." Judge O’Kelly accepted the application and also requested that a victim impact statement be obtained in the case.

The matter is scheduled to be sentenced on April 14.
