Police to seize €807,000 from St Habakkuk monastery in money laundering probe

Police are set to seize €807,000 found in a safe at the Saint Habakkuk monastery as part of a money laundering probe. The Police’s Financial Intelligence Unit will request a court order to freeze the funds to prevent them from being moved or concealed. Separate investigations into the monastery’s finances are also underway, looking into various aspects including fundraising practices and potential financial irregularities. Significant developments are expected next week, with completed cases involving assault and sexual harassment being prepared for submission to the Attorney General’s Office.
