missing cash sham prosecution

this story was reported in last sun irish mail on sun ie jan 21 page 31

last sun irish mail on sun jan 21 page 31 published a story of a businessman who was arrested held in a storeroom in a garda station for 8 hours denied a solicitor told that that the station a divisional garda hq did not have audio visual facilities released without charge ,re arrested 2 years later charged remanded to prison on 10k bail passport seized then 18 months lated r the case was dropped meanwhile the office of the dpp is colluding with corrupt gardai to protect an officer of the court who is not just guilty of perjury but also of suborning perjury.the assistant garda comissioner has written to the victim fof the garda assault promising to look into it yet 6 months later nothing. has the offender a garda officer absconded./?????
what are the corrupt garda siochana up to now>?????
the association of prosecutors in the hague this week will be informed of the activities of the office of the so called independent dpp.
there is an election coming in ireland the tanaiste mr mcdowell may not be aware of this sham yet so presently i attach no blame to him for this particular fiasco but i want this to be the last straw that breaks the camels back the corrupt garda siochana cannot be allowed to continue in its present form.
the corrupt garda siochana needs to be dismantled re branded and in this particular case any officers who have lied submitted false evidence be put on trial.garda officers who assault members of the public have no place in any society as police officers

investigating the assets of the garda siochana
gardai in the guise of the criminal assest bureau seek out ill gotten gains
having seen garda corruption at its worst and the complete disregard the corrupt garda siochana have for the law ,its now time that individual gardai up and down the country are investigated by the criminal assets bureau.every dog on the street know that many gardai around the country own guest houses flats are silent partners in business moonlight as private detectives bouncers etc for cash in hand. the police must be a completely accountable transparant force with no hidden agendas or conflicts of interest.the only way forward for the corrupt garda siochana would be a complete audit by an independent body of all garda assets held by gardai and where property or asstes cannot be accounted for and tax paid then these gardai should have their assets imponnded by the cab in the same way that criminals and tax dodgers are dealt with.if gardai were prosecuted for criminal;ity investigated for tax fraud and sacked for criminality and negligence we would quickly get a real police force .

on reading the above and speaking to larry, i too have been the victim of corrupt scum in the garda force. i was simply driving along in my jeep when a garda who had been harassing me for some time trying to extort money from me jumped from the ditch out onto the road and i had no other choice but stop , or else run him over.
my mistake i stopped and then 2 of them jumped me beat me up, broke my wrist, and assualted me verbally and phisically more than once, then hand cuffed me granted i had a broken wrist, and carted me off to carrick on shannon garda station, i was impriosned for 6 hours against my will and never put under arrest or charged with anything.
they then took my jeep and drove it without my permission, whilst rallying it around every back road and cattle pass in south leitrim, before filling it up with green diesel and robbing my tools.
i was refused a doctor, and told that i had a broken wrist before i met them, i was also warned to keep my mouth shut or else they would re visit.
this happened on the 12/07/2008, in keshcarrigan co leitrim, when garda michael maye and garda gerard mc govern attacked me in my home village as i was innocently going about my business, and to date the garda ombudsman have not ackted on suspending these scum for their actions that could have fatally injured me, as i also suffered a serious head injury.
but not to worry i will get justice if it take 10 years and the gardai involved, gerard mc govern ,michael maye ,james kearns , these scumbags will do time and i will see to it that they never get a pension, and are kicked out of the gardai for their greed.
i ran a small business and garda michael maye seen me as an easy target to extort money out of to repay his mortgage as he told me this in person, more than once. when i refused to hand over his brown envelobes he attacked.
since this attack i have been accused of committing offences that never even happened and judge denis mc loughlin has sent warrants for my arrest for offences that never happened and summons that were never [posted to me. so it would be hard to defend ones self in carrock on shannon court room when one never knew about the case wouldnt it.
this is just a trickle of the corruption that i will be unfolding that will be so damning that it will force the commisioner to resign his position. i also intend on clearing out the scum like judge john o hagan and denis mcloughlin and kevin p kilrane off the benches as they are team players when it comes to corruption and they will hand ouyt warrants and fines for folly offences in return for favours from corrupt gardai like garda james kearns, michael maye and gerard pj mc govern, all stationed in carrick on shannon ,and ballinamore.

further to my last paragraph, there are a few details that i forgot, garda michael maye slandered me around my home village by telling my neighbours that i was reporting them to him for offences again that never happened.
this really damaged my reputation and my business, to such an extent that local people even turned on me, my own family and friends wouldnt speak to me because they taught i was supplying the new garda with information about them.
but come on what information would there be about a backward small village in the west of ireland with a population of about 20 people, yet still garda maye kept it up to such an extent that i was afraid to leave the house, or even my bed, and i attempted suicide on 2 occasions . yet the corruption in the gardai and its ombudsman continues, with bernadette daly another leech on the public purse being employed by the state in the garda ombudsman, giving me the run around, she can be at every dog fight in the country, but has no interest in investegating an actual case and suspending proper criminals from the gardai.

i can be contacted @ laheencivil@hotmail.com, there is more alot more the bubble has not burst on this topic yet
