The Dubai-based son of one of Ireland’s wealthiest and most highly respected business and bloodstock families has been implicated in an international money- laundering scam that involved huge sums in cash and cryptocurrency, as well as properties in the Middle East.
Michael Burke Jr (43), originally from Galway, has been accused of involvement in a “starkly fraudulent” scheme, according to prosecution evidence heard by a court in London earlier this year in the case of a former Chinese takeaway worker convicted of money laundering.
