Now that they have access to everything that was sent to and fro on criminals encrypted phones this is probably a factor in hoping to bring charges too.

The most interesting part was the 4 plus the monk going to Krakow, Poland, less than two weeks before the attack at the Drumcondra hotel. There's no smoking gun, everything against the monk is circumstantial. This is high stake chess between the guards, the monk and cancer.
Rows Grower wrote: » Why is there a question about this? Do you think some Garda just decided to do it on his own without going through the proper procedures? It was a massive Garda operation and Dowdall was linked to the attack by his wife's credit card having been used to pay for one of the gunmen's room in the Regency the night before the murder. Breaking into someone's private vehicle and placing a hidden listening device would be a serious crime if it wasn't authorised at the highest level and all things considered why would there have been any issue getting the authorisation?

If this was a stag do activity fine, but if there is a high profile attack two weeks later they will see this as a dry run and intent and therefore with other circumstantial evidence as being guilty. Gone is the principle of innocence until proved guilty. In the eyes of the SCC it is guilty unless you can prove innocence.

I get what you're saying, but would circumstancal evidence be enough for a international arrest warrant? Totally get the above regarding the SCC, wasn't Patrick before the SCC too and that collapsed because of what members of AGS were up too? Anyone see the twitter asking about a body found in coolock in the last 2 hours, there's a video of a body bag being carried.?
Rows Grower wrote: » I'm not sure if you understand what circumstantial evidence actually is, but if the DPP decides there is enough evidence to have a good chance of a successful prosecution then the person will be arrested and charged. If the person is abroad then it's up to the Gardaí to sort out the paperwork so the suspect can be brought before the court.
Made in China 2040 wrote: » Circumstantial evidence brings in reasonable doubt too as they've been on the back foot that from the get go, the DPP/guards didn't play by their own rule book and a case in the SCC was withdrawn, if they even get that far, ballymun is the same station that got the SCC case withdrawn. I rest my case your honour.
