TWO Dublin men have appeared in a court in Northern Ireland charged with money laundering offences.
PASCHAL Kelly (47) and Jonathan Gill (31) were allegedly caught in possession of criminal property.
The arrests were made following a special operation between officers from the PSNI and detectives from An Garda Siochana's specialist Organised Crime Unit (OCU).
The accused men did not apply for bail.
Judge Bernie Kelly remanded them in custody to appear before the court again next week.
Possession
Kelly, who is originally from Coolock but has an address in Ballyjamesduff, Co Cavan, appeared before Dungannon Magistrates' Court charged with possession of criminal property, contrary to Section 329 of the Proceeds of Crime Act, 2002.
The alleged incident took place at a property in Co Tyrone on February 4.
Kelly is further charged with two counts of obstructing Constable Gary O'Donnell during the same incident and with custody of a false passport.
Gill, of Malahide Road, Dublin 17, is facing a single charge of possession of criminal property.
On that charge, the pair face a possible fine and prison sentence not exceeding six months in the magistrates' court or a maximum sentence of 14 years upon indictment in the Crown Court. The defence solicitor said the pair had provided addresses in Northern Ireland but these were not suitable to the PSNI.
