Katy ex linked to notorious heroin baron

TRAGIC model Katy French’s ex Marcus Sweeney is “up to his oxters” in organised crime, a High Court judge declared yesterday.

Mr Justice Alexander Owens made the comments when ruling on an application from the Criminal Assets Bureau seeking to deem Co Meath lands linked to Sweeney’s firm EWM Property Holdings Limited the proceeds of crime.

CAB claimed at least some of the money invested in the 45-year-old’s firms came from notorious heroin baron Brian Grendon.

The judge said the bureau made out a “very compelling case” for him to rule there was a “high degree of probability” the site at Waynestown was acquired by EWM with crime proceeds.
