Two Tipperary brothers were victims of the fraud,
Robert and Louis Dowley from Carrick on Suir, are reported to have lost
up to four million euro in the scam.

The 51-year-old with an address at Kilmore Close in Monkstown,
Dublin – was arrested this morning by officers from the
Garda Bureau of Fraud Investigation.

Tanned and wearing a smart navy blazer, Breifni O'Brien sat and looked around the courtroom

throughout today's hearing.

The former businessman is accused of operating an investor fraud, which stole more than

11 million euro from five alleged victims.

The 51 year-old was formally charged in the Bridewell Garda Station this morning, where he

replied 'not guilty' to 38 counts of theft and deception.

Breifni O'Brien's mother Mary agreed to pay a bail bond of 10-thousand euro, telling the court she

understood the obligation, and hadn't been 'put upon' to volunteer the cash.

Mr O'Brien has handed his passport into Fraud squad detectives, and will appear again in court in

November to receive a book of evidence.
