Supreme Court Rejects Scam Queen’s Appeal Over Tipperary CAB Seizure.

The Supreme Court has refused convicted fraudster Agne Khan permission to appeal a Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) ruling that saw property and cash seized as the proceeds of crime.

Ms Khan and her husband Khurram were at the centre of a €3.5 million international cybercrime fraud which used Irish companies to launder money. Her firm, Nida Investments Ltd, was targeted by CAB, which seized a garage forecourt in Ballywilliam, Co Tipperary, and €16,000 held in a bank account.

In a written judgment last week, the Supreme Court rejected the appeal, noting it had been lodged six months late and that Nida Investments had already appealed unsuccessfully to the Court of Appeal.

The court said there were no issues of general public importance or exceptional circumstances to justify a further hearing.

Ms Khan had previously been told she could not legally represent the company herself, after two solicitors came off record, one citing an irreparable breakdown in “trust and confidence.” She did not appear in court for either the High Court or appeal hearings.

Judge Mr Alex Owens previously found there was “no doubt” that the €66,000 Tipperary property was bought with criminal proceeds and appointed a receiver to take control of it. He described Nida Investments and another Khan firm, Autology Ltd, as “steeped in fraud.”

A separate motor business run by the couple from the same premises closed in 2018 following a Revenue investigation, leaving an unpaid tax bill of €623,000.

The Supreme Court’s decision brings Ms Khan’s legal challenge to a close.

It Ain’t Me Babe.

Lyrics and Vocals: American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan.

It Ain’t Me Babe.

Go away from my window,
Leave at your own chosen speed.
I’m not the one you want, babe,
I’m not the one you need.
You say you’re lookin’ for someone,
Who’s never weak but always strong,
To protect you and defend you,
Whether you are right or wrong,
Someone to open each and every door,
But it ain’t me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain’t me, babe,
It ain’t me you’re lookin’ for, babe.

Go lightly from the ledge, babe,
Go lightly on the ground,
I’m not the one you want, babe,
I’ll only let you down.
You say you’re looking for someone,
Who will promise never to part,
Someone to close his eyes for you,
Someone to close his heart,
Someone who will die for you and more,
But it ain’t me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain’t me babe,
It ain’t me you’re lookin’ for, babe.

Go melt back in the night.
Everything inside is made of stone,
There’s nothing in here moving,
And anyway I’m not alone.
You say you’re looking for someone,
Who’ll pick you up each time you fall,
To gather flowers constantly,
And to come each time you call,
A lover for your life and nothing more,
But it ain’t me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain’t me, babe,
It ain’t me you’re lookin’ for, babe.

END
