High Court dismisses an application for judicial review seeking to prohibit the prosecution of the applicant on charges of money laundering, where the applicant argued that the failure of An Garda Síochána to retrieve and preserve IP address data related to alleged fraudulent transactions created a risk of an unfair trial, the court finding that the absence of this evidence did not significantly impact the applicant's ability to present a full defense, and that any potential risk of injustice could be mitigated by the trial judge's directions to the jury.
Judicial review - prohibition - money laundering - Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) Act 2010 - fair trial - IP address evidence - An Garda Síochána - burden of proof - VPN (Virtual Private Network) - Section 11 presumption - evidence preservation - trial judge's directions.
