Terrorism case against Kneecap's Mo Chara adjourned by court in London
The case against Kneecap member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara , for allegedly supporting a proscribed terror organisation has been adjourned until next month. Ó hAnnaidh is accused of displaying a flag in support of Hizbullah at a gig in London on November 21st last year. Hundreds of supporters greeted the Belfast rapper with cheers as he made his way from a silver people-carrier into Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday. The 27-year-old, who arrived at court alongside fellow bandmates Naoise Ó Cairealláin and JJ Ó Dochartaigh, was swamped by photographers outside, with security officers taking more than a minute to usher him into the court building. READ MORE Ó Dochartaigh aka DJ Próvaí and Ó Cairealláin, who performs as Móglaí Bap, sat at the back of the courtroom as Ó hAnnaidh confirmed his name, date of birth and address at the start of the hearing. He is accused of holding up a Hizbullah flag on stage while saying 'Up Hamas, up Hizbullah'. Kneecap have previously said the flag was thrown on stage during their performance. He was charged in May under the Terrorism Act, under which it is a criminal offence to display an article in a way which arouses reasonable suspicion that someone is a supporter of a proscribed organisation. Ó hAnnaidh's defence team are seeking to throw the case out, citing a technical error in the way the charge against him was brought. Defence counsel Brenda Campbell KC told the court the Attorney General had not given permission for the case to be brought against the defendant when police informed him he was to face a terror charge on May 21st. However, prosecutor Michael Bisgrove said permission was not required until the defendant's first court appearance. Judge Paul Goldspring adjourned the case to September 26th when he will give his decision on whether he has jurisdiction to hear the case. Ó hAnnaidh, who has yet to enter a plea, was released on unconditional bail until his next court appearance.

In response the rap group described this move as a 'calculated political decision' that was 'designed to try and portray support for Kneecap as somehow troublesome' and 'asked supporters to go out of your way to be compliant with all instructions issued, irrespective of how pitiful'.

The Indo Daily: Secret messages, codewords and a phone smashed with an axe – The Irishman caught in 'biggest corporate espionage case of the century'
Earlier this year a spy trail of secret messages, codewords and a phone smashed with an axe unfolded in front of the High Court in an extraordinary tale of alleged corporate espionage. The story of Dublin man Keith O'Brien made international headlines when his employer, a major US HR services firm, set a 'trap' to identify how confidential information was being leaked – and the saga is not over yet. His 13-page confession was read to the High Court, where he told how he spied on his multinational employer for a rival for a fee of over €5,000 a month. That is, until he was caught. In an affidavit filed with the High Court, Keith O'Brien, who was global payroll compliance manager of Rippling, said he was induced into spying and passing sensitive company information to the CEO of rival US firm Deel Inc. The admission was disclosed during an application to join Deel, its French chief executive Alex Bouaziz and two solicitors working for Deel – Italian national Andrea David Mieli and UK-based Asif Malik – as co-defendants in corporate espionage proceedings taken by Rippling against Mr O'Brien last month. The Commercial Court heard Mr O'Brien passed on screenshots from Rippling's Slack messaging system to Mr Bouaziz, who was described as a billionaire, over the course of several months and was paid for this via Revolut and in cryptocurrency. Today, on the Indo Daily, Fionnán Sheahan is joined by Irish Independent legal affairs editor Shane Phelan and Sunday Independent senior correspondent Maeve Sheehan, to discuss how a payroll compliance manager was allegedly recruited as a corporate spy – and where the intrigue will go next.
