Robin Schiller

A jihadist who stabbed a Garda and set fire to Conor McGregor's pub has been jailed for just six and a half years.

Today I'm speaking to the Irish independence Robin Schiller about Abdullah Khan's sinister crimes and about how he told Garda he was a supporter of ISIS.

I'm Niall Donald and this is Crime World, a podcast from crimeworld.com.

So, Robin, Abdullah Khan was sentenced yesterday.

Yeah, it's quite shocking phenomenon.

It's something that Robin Schiller and myself have been working on.

And effectively, it's the use of so-called torture videos that these gangs are utilizing specific social media platforms to specifically use disappearing videos.

And what happens is they send these very short videos to a family member of a person who has a drug debt.

Yeah, it's quite shocking, Fanon.

And at the time of recording, the charity is still accepting donations via its website.

I'm Kevin Doyle, and on this extra episode of the Indo Daily, I'm joined by Robin Schiller, news and security correspondent with the Irish Independent, to ask what the latest developments are in this strange case and what Sinn Féin and Angus of Snuttig have had to say about it.

Robin, you might start by explaining briefly what the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau is.

So the GNECB, for short, I suppose, it was formerly colloquially referred to as the Garda Fraud Squad.

You're looking at accounts being analysed, bank statements potentially being analysed, the background and ownership of certain assets that have seized have to be looked at as well.

I'd imagine the people who are in possession or in ownership of those assets have to prove where the finance for that came from now it's not a criminal assets period investigation at this stage it is with the GNECB but I suppose the ownership and the monies for those assets seized where that came from has to be proven as well so that could take some time for Gardaí to develop through significant records we don't know how long the suspicion has been gone for it could be going back several years it could be much more recent than that but that will take time given the fact the very nature of money laundering investigations and proving certain allegations bye Gardaí

okay Robin Schiller one to watch but for now thank you I'm Kevin Doyle and this extra episode of the Indo Daily was produced by Gareth Mulhall, researched by Vivienne Wood, recorded by Richie McCourt with sound by Rory Bowen.

Archived clips were from the Irish Independent.

A man in his 20s and a woman in her 30s are being questioned while two surviving children remain critically ill in hospital.

And for the latest on this, we're joined by news and security correspondent with the Irish Independent, Robin Schiller, and by David Cullinane, Sinn F- Sinn Féin TD for Waterford.

Uh, Robin, to you first.

Uh, two people arrested.

That's obviously a lot more difficult than getting the people who are hands-on, but Gardaí are certainly hopeful that they can widen the net, that other witnesses will come forward, and that they can arrest and prosecute all the people involved in this horrific crime.

[lips smack] Okay, Robin, thanks very much for that.

That's Robin Schiller, uh, Irish Independent news and security correspondent.

Uh, as I said, David Cullinane, Sinn Féin TD for Waterford, also on the line.
