Irish businessman accused of Madeleine McCann-link fraud on run
Kevin Halligen (48) was due to apply for bail at a hearing at City of Westminster Magistrates Court in London
An Irish businessman whose firm helped look for Madeleine McCann was yesterday remanded in custody after US authorities launched extradition proceedings over an alleged £1.3m fraud.
Kevin Halligen (48) was due to apply for bail at a hearing at City of Westminster Magistrates Court in London, but did not attend and was not represented by a lawyer.
District Judge Caroline Tubbs remanded Halligen in custody in his absence. A lawyer for the US Government said Halligen was wanted in connection with a “wire fraud and money laundering”.
