An Algerian man with no links to Ireland was able to obtain an official Irish passport in a false name by claiming he was the son of an Irish woman murdered in the UK. Dublin Circuit Court was told it was “harder to sign up for a mobile phone contract with Vodafone” than get an Irish passport, after it emerged that Sabouni Abdelhamid was granted the document after he claimed to be the son of Catherine ‘Kate’ Corridan, who was murdered in London .

Niall speaks to Crime World's Alan Sherry about how Abdelhamid was jailed after he was caught out in a lie.

A suspect in the murder of Belfast man John George has been shot dead in Alicante in Spain in what police believe was an assassination.
Czech national Michael Maly led police to the remains of father of two John George in December 2024 after he’d gone missing during a drug fuelled holiday on the Costa Blanca.

Maly was a suspect along with fellow Belfast man Johnny Smyth in the killing of George who was stabbed in the legs and then shot before his body was dumped under a lemon tree in a remote area outside the tourist hotspot.
Maly was expected to give evidence in any upcoming trials in Spain.
Nicola speaks to journalist Steven Moore who broke the story.
