Dutch man (43) is charged with cash laundering

A Dutch man with an address in Andorra has been remanded in custody following his arrest for money laundering at an upmarket Dublin 4 office block.

He was arrested on Thursday by the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau (GNDOCB). Some €200,000 was allegedly seized.

Follow-up searches were carried out at a premises in the Dublin 4 area. An additional significant quantity of cash and a number of gold bars were seized.

Harm Stachouwer (43), of Sant Antony Avenue in Andorra, was charged at Irishtown Garda Station yesterday.

He was then taken to appear before Judge John O’Leary at the evening sitting of Dublin District Court.

He was charged under Section 7 of the Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) Act 2010 for having €200,000 in crime proceeds at Connaught House on Burlington Road.

There has been no indication as to how he will plead, and Mr Stachouwer was remanded in custody to appear next Thursday.
