Cyril “Dublin Jimmy” McGuinness worked for and was friendly “all his life” with former billionaire Sean Quinn, the deceased gangster’s brother Fran McGuinness told the High Court.
Mr McGuinness is suing the Garda Commissioner and the State over what he says was the unlawful search of his truck business premises next door to the former family home at Pinnock Hill on August 23rd, 2014. Mr McGuinness said he had been estranged from his brother for many years before his death. Cyril McGuinness collapsed and later died of a cardiac arrest following a police raid of his Derbyshire, England, home in 2019.
Under cross examination by Gerard Clarke SC, for the defendants, Mr McGuinness said it was “not unusual at all” for him “leaving around” two envelopes containing large amounts of cash in the unlocked office of his easily accessible premises at Pinnock Hill. “Cyril was a person of notoriety and they suspected him of being involved in the arson of the Quinn property,” he said.
