- A related commercial firm shares its registered depot address.
- The firm’s associate denies any connection with the charity.

## Summary

Gardaí have carried out targeted raids at Liberty Recycling, a clothing charity chaired by Sinn Féin TD Aengus Ó Snodaigh, as part of a money laundering investigation. The article reports that a for-profit textile business linked to an associate of Liberty’s chief executive is registered at the charity’s Dublin depot, raising questions about possible links between the organisations.

Liberty collects and sorts used clothes for resale through nine shops and overseas markets, and turns some unsuitable textiles into cleaning wipes. The commercial firm advertises similar products and lists the Bluebell depot address, though the associate said it had never operated there and had no connection to Liberty. Neither Ó Snodaigh nor CEO Philip Moloney nor the associate is alleged to have acted improperly; Liberty’s accounts do not use the SORP standard, which encourages disclosure of related-party transactions.
