Anglo seeks jailing of Quinn for contempt

[DCon]

The wife is getting a few quid fom the Russians

THE wife of jailed Sean Quinn Jnr is working as a receptionist -- despite receiving €320,000 after tax in wages from three Russian firms since April of last year.

Ms Woods, who wed Sean Jnr in a glitzy ceremony earlier this year, is a part-time employee with a car dealership in Dublin.

The dealership is currently advertising for a full-time receptionist, with an annual salary of €21,000.

Last weekend Ms Woods visited her husband at the training unit in Mountjoy, after he was jailed for "outrageous" contempt of court orders to stop him putting the multi-million euro property assets beyond the reach of IBRC.

Yesterday the Supreme Court decided it will hear his appeal against his three-month sentence in October.

Unless the court finds he has purged his contempt before the appeal, it appears he will remain in prison. No exact date has been given for the appeal.

The show ain't over til the beak bangs the gavel.

Need to check with a legal person - but I don't think the three months is an actual "sentence" but merely a "finding" of being in contempt.

As far as I know, there has been no "sentence" as there as been no finding of guilt.

That, perhaps, will all come later.

But judging by the unprecedented use of language by Judge Kelly, you can pretty much rest assured that it will come.

And when it does, as I said above, I imagine it will turn out to be proportionate to the anger felt by the public - many of whom seem to be misunderstanding what is currently going down re contempt.

He has not co-operated and Mr. Justice Kelly found him in contempt of court. A criminal trial, which, in the event of a guilty verdict leads to a sentence, has not taken place. All Qunn Jnr. has to do is to purge his comtempt (ie. co-operate) and he can be out of there in no time. This is the same thing that went on with Lawlor. Being incarcerated for contempt of court can be as a result of sticking to a specific principle, as happened in the case of the late Tony Gregory TD when involving himself in a dispute concerning constituents of his (Moore Street traders if I remember correctly)

Those who find themselves in jail for contempt of court do not acquire a criminal record because they have not been sent ot jail as a result of a sentence at the conclusion of a criminal trial.

Sean Quinn was interviewed on Northern Sound this morning. I didn't hear it but reportedly he said that he had no regrets about hiding assets and that he could do nothing further at this stage to recover them for Anglo. It appears that he is prepared to go to jail.
It seems that he repeated his allegation from the IMOS article that Cowen rang him in 2010 to sort the situation out but didn't add any further details.
No sign of a podcast on the Northern Sound website yet.

Seán Quinn has said if the former Anglo Irish Bank wanted to see him jailed he would “accept it”, but said that putting his assets beyond the bank’s reach was “the right thing to have done”.

Mr Quinn said he had made a “very conscious decision” to put assets beyond the bank’s reach.

“We thought at the time we were retaining our own assets and they were moving in illegally on those assets,” he said. “There was an onus on us to make some effort to defend ourselves.

“We felt it was the right thing to do and we still feel it was the right thing to have done – unfortunately it finished up in prison,” he said in the interview, which was recorded on Thursday.

So in layman's terms, what the IBRC is accusing them of is more or less correct. Out of your own mouth let ye be judged.

Article indicates payments to the missus made since April 2011, would be interesting to establish exact dates as it may tell if Quinns have financial control of Moscow and Kiev properties, the "video" indicates they have lost Kiev, accepting 100k when they wanted 5m.

"This Week" carrying an interview of Sean Quinn.

The Sunday's showing a Quinn "on the run" watching a match up North with his da, and another Quinn, in jail, playing poker with his da.

[Baron von Biffo]

This Week has a 'Poor Me' interview with Quinn now.

Sick bags essential.

It was all Anglo's fault, but if the "outgoing management" was there, they would have worked with him to get the 2.x billion debt repaid....

The one thing he said was right, it was that he should never have borrowed against the Quinn companies (and gambled with the borrowings).

Surely against the Companies Acts ?

More or less a monologue.

Perhaps McGuinness and Adams could "invite" them back to RoI and do us all a favour, PDQ's da might also be helpful.
