Man Sentenced for Hiding Cash in Hotel | Dublin News

A Ukrainian man named Andrii Pastukh was sentenced to five years in prison after being caught with over 300,000 euros hidden in bizarre places—including food containers and a speaker—in his Dublin hotel room. He admitted to possessing the cash, which authorities linked to a money-laundering operation he was recruited for via Telegram while in Greece. Despite claiming he was just passing through Ireland for three days, Pastukh was found guilty of being trusted to move large sums of cash out of the country for a small fee. The judge emphasized the seriousness of the crime, especially given his awareness of what he was doing.
