Galway Bay fm newsroom – A man who claims to have been ‘swindled’ by a former Craughwell property developer is seeking to recover a judgment of €1.18 million obtained against him.
Kevin McGeever, who faked his own kidnapping, could be jailed for contempt of a court order directing him to provide full details of his assets.
The High Court has heard that Mr McGeever allegedly failed to provide a truthful and accurate statement of means in response to efforts by businessman James Byrne to recover a judgment of €1.18 million obtained against him.
According to the Irish Times, Mr Byrne obtained judgment against Mr McGeever and his company over a failed deal regarding the purchase of several apartments in Dubai.
It is claimed Mr McGeever did not set out his property interests in the statement as he is required to do.
These included an alleged interest in a mansion called “Nirvana” in Craughwell.
