The Irish Times · Irlanda · Prensahace 2 días

A woman has been charged with smuggling men into Ireland via Dublin Airport twice within two weeks. Daniela Rusescu (34), a Romanian national living in the UK, appeared before Dublin District Court after Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB) officers arrested her at Terminal 1 in the airport on Saturday evening.

The 34-year-old, of Old Barn Court, Northampton, was held over the weekend and brought before Judge Áine Clancy on Monday. The judge noted that Det Cathal Brady of the GNIB was opposing bail, citing flight risk concerns.

Rusescu faces two counts under Section 6(1) of the Criminal Justice (Smuggling of Persons) Act 2021 for assisting a man to enter the State on October 10th and again on October 24th of this year. The accused was stopped just after 8.30pm following the arrival of a flight from Barcelona, Spain.

She made no reply to the most recent allegation and, for the earlier offence, answered, “I was…

Flávio Bolsonaro lands in US after fleeing Brazil following election defeat

Flávio Bolsonaro, the losing candidate in Brazil’s presidential election, has landed in the US after fleeing his home country where he is under investigation for corruption and money laundering, according to people who have been briefed on the matter. The rightwing politician and son of jailed ex-president Jair Bolsonaro arrived in Florida on Tuesday evening, said one of the people. He then met his brother Eduardo Bolsonaro, who is already in self-imposed exile in the US. A supreme court judge in Brazil had imposed a travel ban on Bolsonaro after his failed election bid against incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The judicial order to remain in Brazil was linked to ongoing criminal investigations and came hours after Lula’s surprise re-election on Sunday evening, when the left-winger won a narrow run-off vote by 52 to 48 per cent. Brazil’s federal police cancelled Bolsonaro’s passports after he did not comply with…

GP prescribed ‘toxic’ medication to Covid-19 patients, inquiry hears

A doctor prescribed medication with “known toxicity” to patients who presented with Covid-19 during the pandemic, a fitness-to-practise inquiry has heard. Dr Patrick Morrissey of Adare Medical Centre, who faces 39 factual allegations, continued with his cross-examination on Monday of Colin Bradley, a retired general practitioner. Bradley is a professor of general practice and is the expert witness for Dr Maria O’Kane, chief executive of the Medical Council. O’Kane alleges Morrissey, while working at the centre, prescribed hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, and co-prescribed azithromycin and hydroxychloroquine to a number of patients who had Covid-19 symptoms or who received a Covid-19 diagnosis. Hydroxychloroquine is used to manage autoimmune conditions including lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, while ivermectin is used to treat parasitic infection. Azithromycin is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections such as pneumonia, strep throat and skin infections. O’Kane alleges Morrissey’s prescribing of these medicines in respect of Covid-19 symptoms and…

PTSB in court, and health insurers’ €125m unpaid hospital bill

A small number of “tiny” shareholders in PTSB have claimed in court that they are paying for the Irish Government’s exit as part of Austrian lender Bawag’s proposed €1.6 billion deal for the Irish bank. Stephen Conneely reports from the first day of the hearing being held to sanction the takeover, which received Government approval in the summer. It is very hard to imagine the boss of a private sector company not wanting to apportion responsibility for a failure to collect hundreds of millions of euro. Yet, that is precisely Minister for Health Jennifer Carroll MacNeill’s approach to the €125 million in unpaid debts from private insurers written off by public hospitals. Actually, someone is to blame, writes John McManus. Putting your spare cash towards an additional voluntary contribution to your pension is always a good idea. Yet, with the Government-backed personal investment accounts set to open next July, Joanne…
